How Ryan Bakke Saved Millions in Taxes While Building a $3M Real Estate Empire (Ep-92)
In this week's episode of A-List Conversations, we interviewed Ryan Bakke. Ryan Bakke, CPA, is a real estate investor, tax strategist, and founder of a multi-million-dollar CPA firm. Today, he owns $3M worth of real estate that brings in $18K a month, and his growing CPA firm is on track to hit $5M in revenue. Now, Ryan specializes in helping investors legally minimize taxes and build wealth.
In this episode, Ryan shares how he first learned about real estate tax loopholes and why that knowledge changed the course of his career. He talks about how he built his personal brand, started working with high-earning clients, and the one big mistake he made early on that cost him thousands.
Ryan also breaks down the best tax strategies for real estate investors. He explains how the three major strategies W-2 earners can use to pay less in taxes. Plus, he shares step-by-step how wealthy investors use LLCs, trusts, and holding companies to protect their assets, and how you can use them to keep more of their money.
We also dive into the habits that separate wealthy investors from everyone else. Ryan talks about one thing all successful people do to increase their wealth faster instead of figuring everything out on their own. He also shares how he negotiates seller financing deals to get better terms and why structuring a deal the right way is one of the most important things in real estate.
