What if your biggest tax bill could become your greatest growth tool?
This week on The Liquid Lunch Project, Matt and Luigi sit down with Sean Graham, a CPA-turned-real estate investor who’s using depreciation and self-storage to build a business empire (and outsmart the IRS in the process).
Sean shares how he went from crunching numbers in a cubicle to scaling a real estate portfolio with FHA and SBA loans, cost segregation strategies, and a whole lot of shed space.
Episode Highlights:
Why FHA loans are a perfect starter hack for young investors
How Sean scaled from duplexes to commercial storage units using SBA loans
What cost segregation actually is—and why it matters to small business owners
Three ways to legally offset active income using real estate depreciation
The "lazy 1031 exchange" explained
How to avoid paying depreciation recapture
When it makes sense to DIY cost seg (spoiler: it doesn’t)
Sean’s tips for building scalable, remote-first real estate operations
