What if you could slash your tax bill and earn monthly passive income without lifting a finger to manage real estate?

In this episode, Cameron Christiansen and Anthony Faso sit down with Lamè Kinikini, founder of Elk Ridge Investments, who shares how his unique background, door-to-door sales experience, and deep knowledge of short-term rentals led him to build a portfolio of over 300 properties across 14 states. More importantly, Lamè breaks down how high-income W-2 earners and business owners can leverage a legal tax strategy often referred to as the short-term rental loophole to offset active income with substantial depreciation.

Lamè walks listeners through his investment structure (not a syndication!), how he creatively finances deals under 5% interest, and what makes this model a true game-changer for time-strapped professionals. If you’re looking for a hands-off way to earn 8% annual returns and reduce your taxes, this episode delivers the playbook.

Tune in to learn how to partner on deals with Elk Ridge, why 100 hours of “material participation” is the key, and what you need to do before year-end to take full advantage.
