Real Estate Series Part 4: Purchase Price Allocation – The #1 Tax Hack for Real Estate Investors

Real estate investors are missing one of the most powerful, and overlooked tax strategies: Purchase Price Allocation (PPA).

In this episode, Mike Pine & Kevin Schneider from Revo Tax reveal how to use PPA to front-load depreciation, offset W-2 or self-employed income, and dramatically lower your tax bill. Learn how PPA compares to cost segregation, when each is best, and why this move can supercharge your returns.

Episode highlights:

• What PPA is and why the IRS requires it for trade or business purchases

• Real-world examples: 25–35% depreciation with cost seg vs. 80%+ with PPA

• Structuring offers with sellers and covering their tax to close the deal

• How to mitigate recapture, bonus depreciation limits, and timing issues

Whether you’re buying your first short-term rental or scaling a multimillion-dollar portfolio, this episode will change how you think about depreciation.
