REPS
Real Estate Professional Status
How material participation rules can change treatment of rental losses for qualifying households. These are concepts to review with a CPA.
Tax and Real Estate · Education
The tax code rewards ownership, not just income.
Physician Tax Reduction Blueprint by Dr. Diego Kriger, MD. Tax-efficiency education on depreciation, cost segregation, passive loss limits, REPS, household strategy, and STR concepts for high-income physician households. Built for smarter conversations with your CPA. This is never “avoid taxes” hype.
The trap
W-2 income rises. So do taxes, obligations, and pressure.
Many attendings master medicine. Then they discover a high income alone doesn’t create freedom. Ownership, depreciation, and structure are the missing education layer.
STR
Short-term rental strategy
Why average stay length and participation can interact with classification. This is especially relevant for dual-W2 couples.
SEG
Cost segregation
Accelerating depreciation by reclassifying building components. The guide covers timing, studies, and tradeoffs.
