Instead of something to dread, tax season should be an exciting time for property investors.

In this episode of Property Showcase, host Grace Ormsby chats with BMT tax Depreciation CEO Bradley Beer to explain how tax depreciation schedules can provide investors with good reasons to be proactive when it comes to their taxes, with the average first-year depreciation claim up around the $9,000 mark.

Brad acknowledges that while it’s never usually too late to get a tax depreciation report completed, there are plenty of advantages that come with ordering a report sooner rather than later.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Just how valuable a depreciation schedule can be.
• How tax depreciation schedules can be applied retroactively.
• What the process involves (hint: you don’t have to do the heavy lifting).
