NORTH JERSEY MEETING:
2025 & BEYOND: SMART TAX STRATEGIES EVERY REAL ESTATE INVESTOR NEEDS TO KNOW WITH JIM KING, CPA,
Wednesday
, 1/28/2026

North%20Jersey%20Meeting%2001282026

Tax laws are changing—and the decisions you made in 2025 and will make in the new year can have a major impact on your cash flow, returns, and long-term wealth. Join us for an in-depth and practical presentation with Jim King, CPA with Aprio Advisory Group, as he breaks down what real estate investors need to know to file correctly for 2025 and position themselves strategically for 2026 and beyond.

This session is designed to help investors move beyond basic compliance and toward tax-efficient investing. Jim will explain complex concepts in plain English and share real-world guidance you can actually use—whether you own one property or a large portfolio.

What You’ll Learn

?? Introduction

Understand today’s tax environment for real estate investors and why proactive planning—not last-minute filing—is critical.

?? Tax-Efficient Structures for Holding Real Estate

Learn how different ownership structures (LLCs, partnerships, S-corps, C-corps, trusts, and more) affect taxes, liability, and long-term flexibility—and how to choose the right structure for your investing strategy.

?? Tax Considerations When Buying and Selling Property

Discover the tax implications of real estate deals, and how timing, intent, and structure can significantly change your tax outcome.

?? Tax Deferral Strategies: What They Are & Why They Matter

Explore powerful tax deferral tools and how they impact investor wealth:

  • 1031 Exchanges
  • Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs)
  • Installment Sales

?? Taking Advantage of the Real Estate Professional Designation

Find out who qualifies, what the IRS looks for, and how this designation can unlock major tax savings by offsetting active income.

?? How the New 2025 Tax Law Affects You

Get clear insight into new and updated tax rules for 2025, what’s changed, what’s staying, and how investors should adjust their strategies now.

?? Open Q&A

Bring your questions and get direct answers from an experienced CPA who works closely with real estate investors every day.

Why You Should Attend

  •  Learn how to legally reduce and defer taxes
  •  Avoid common (and costly) investor tax mistakes
  •  Stay informed of new tax laws and learn how they impact your returns
  •  Gain clarity and confidence heading into tax season

I sincerely hope you like what you do, as well as like the people you work with. After all a good part of your life is spent working so you might as well enjoy it. But if you are one of those 5/7ths people, who live for the weekend, and yearn for something better, something you enjoy and can start doing part time, real estate investing may be for you.

There is no business quite like real estate investing. You can control large amounts of property with small amounts of cash and safely leverage your way to real wealth and prosperity.

But you need to do it the right way. Educating yourself as to the proper way to structure deals that benefit you and the other parties involved is of vital importance. Also learning how to manage and renovate properties is also of the utmost importance.
