In this episode Ben is generous enough to share a personal tax experience to help all our listeners better understand a confusing topic: real estate. Listen in as Ben and Steven talk through the details of Ben's real estate journey including the taxes along with other pieces people don't always think about when they are trying to decide if an investment was in fact "a good deal". Most people just look at "how much did I pay for it and how much can I sell it for" but that leaves out the cost of ownership each year and the potential tax liability. With taxes there is almost always more to the puzzle.
