Description: In today’s episode, I sit down with Lamè Kinikini, Founder and CEO of Elk Ridge Investments, to talk about how short term rentals can become a powerful tax strategy for high net worth investors. Lamè shares how Elk Ridge evolved from property management into an investment model built around maximizing the tax advantages available through real estate. We discuss the importance of understanding tax incentives, why traditional advisors may overlook certain strategies, and how the right structure can create equity, cash flow, and depreciation benefits. Lamè also explains how Elk Ridge reduces the time and emotional expense that often comes with property ownership.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
