    Kevin Brunner explains why your CPA may be costing you money, how to cut your effective tax rate, and what most real estate investors get wrong about wealth preservation.

    Kevin breaks down:

    • Why CPAs advise investors to "just pay the tax" and how that costs you money every year
    • How high-earning investors can stay at a 10% effective federal tax rate
    • The installment sale trust strategy and how it avoids capital gains on a sale
    • Why a 1031 exchange alone is not a complete exit strategy
    • How to reset depreciation through a trust structure
    • What "hold till you die, swap till you drop" really means for your portfolio
    • Why the financial services industry is set up against the investor
    • How to prepare your heirs to actually manage what you leave them
    • Why wealth transferred without preparation destroys families
    • The "quadrant" framework for thinking about all your assets, not just financial ones

    This episode is for:

    • Real estate investors with significant equity who haven't updated their estate plan
    • Investors approaching a sale or 1031 exchange
    • Anyone who suspects their advisor isn't giving them the full picture
    • Portfolio holders who haven't thought about succession and heir preparation

  • This $50 Billion Plan Could Rebuild Detroit w/ Rod Lockwood

    This $50 Billion Plan Could Rebuild Detroit w/ Rod Lockwood
    May 30 2026

    Rod Lockwood reveals his $50 billion plan to transform Belle Isle into a tax-free, self-governing city — and what it means for Detroit real estate investors.

    In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Rod Lockwood, a second-generation Detroit real estate developer and founder of the Belle Isle Freedom City project — a bold proposal to turn a 1,000-acre island in the Detroit River into a privately funded, tax-free, self-governing city of 50,000 people.

    Rod breaks down:

    • Why Detroit went from the richest city in the world in 1950 to the poorest major city today
    • The 99-year lease structure modeled after Hong Kong's revival
    • How Belle Isle would operate with no income tax and a land value tax system
    • Why 46,000 Detroiters would commute to the island daily, paying full state and federal taxes
    • The estimated $5 to $6 billion infrastructure investment and $50 billion total build-out
    • How Detroit land at $7 to $10 per square foot becomes attractive to international entrepreneurs
    • The Formula One racetrack concept and car-free design
    • Why a commissioned poll showed Detroit residents support the project by a plus 41% margin
    • How Rod is using AI for cost modeling and document prep across the project

    This episode is for investors watching the Detroit market, anyone interested in special economic zones, and real estate developers thinking about large-scale opportunity and urban policy.
