Equity compensation is offered by more than 40% of public companies and 35% of private companies to incentivize employees to take ownership in their company. Unfortunately, the employees that are granted the equity stock are given little to no direction on how to leverage this tremendous opportunity.

You may be one of the lucky 7% of Americans that has investment properties. But do you know how to maximize the deduction advantages while navigating all of the risk limitations? It’s a lot more complicated than just buying and renting out a property. But fewer than 40% of those individuals who have investment properties maximize the tax advantages, mostly out of ignorance.
