Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Major League Real Estate Podcast, Nathan Sosa and Matt Hamilton explain one of the most overlooked areas of real estate syndication: how to accurately factor tax effects into ROI projections and communicate those expectations to investors.

Nathan and Matt walk through:

- Why syndicators should include tax impact in their ROI calculators and how it changes investor outcomes
- The role of bonus depreciation and cost segregation in driving year-one tax losses
- How leverage can dramatically amplify those tax losses (with back-of-the-napkin math examples)
- The major differences in tax treatment across asset classes like multifamily, industrial, and RV parks
- Why state tax exposure matters when investing outside your home state
- How to use cost segregation studies effectively and when to get them done

Nathan and Matt wrap up by emphasizing that taxes are the “cherry on top” of a strong deal, not the driver, but understanding them can make or break investor trust.
