#85 Amanda Han: Income Shifting Strategies & the New Tax Climate

April 27, 2021

“A lot of investors might hear & know the strategy, but if you’re not implementing it correctly before you sell the property, then your CPA however good they are, cannot help you.” -Amanda Han

 

Today I am interviewing Amanda Han, who is one of the founders of Keystone CPA alongside her partner Matt MacFarland. Keystone CPA focuses on tax strategies for the everyday investor to help them achieve wealth building by using entity structuring, income offset opportunities and self-directed investing. They are the Authors of two best selling books on Amazon,  The Book on Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor and The Book on Advanced Strategies. They are educators, speakers and contributors to platforms like Bigger Pockets, The Norris Group, Talks at Google and more.  

Amanda Han: Didn’t begin her career as a real estate CPA. Coming from a lineage of investors, Amanda didn’t get involved in real estate until after she began working with a CPA company that required her to work in the real estate department. That is where she gained her footing into becoming a Tax Strategist for real estate investors. As an investor herself Amanda and Keystone CPA flourish on helping their clients get the most out of their investment portfolios.
