If you’ve ever replaced a roof, HVAC, or remodeled a kitchen in your rental property, you might’ve unknowingly thrown away thousands in tax deductions — permanently. Most investors miss this strategy because they or their CPAs never make the Partial Asset Disposition (PAD) election. Once the tax year closes, you can’t amend it, and the deduction is gone forever. In this episode of The Wealth Planning Podcast with Brister Law, host Anthony Brister breaks down how PADs work, how to claim them, and how to combine them with cost segregation and bonus depreciation to legally double dip and compound wealth over time. Learn how to avoid paying taxes on “ghost” assets that don’t even exist — and make sure your CPA isn’t leaving money on the table.   Timestamps 0:00 — The tax mistake costing real estate investors thousands 0:36 — Forget flashy loopholes — this applies to everyone 1:00 — The client who owned “three roofs” on one property 2:38 — What is a Partial Asset Disposition (PAD)? 3:40 — Why most CPAs miss it (and why you can’t fix it later) 5:00 — Step-by-step: How to claim a PAD correctly 6:16 — How PADs compound wealth over decades 6:38 — The “double dip” with PAD + cost segregation 7:38 — Case study: $26K HVAC replacement turns into $9K tax savings 8:19 — Cleaning up your depreciation schedule (avoid recapture!) 9:06 — Final call: Review your 2024 return before it’s too late   If you’ve replaced a roof, HVAC, or other major component in your rental property, book a Tax Strategy Review Call at bristertaxlaw.com We’ll review your depreciation schedule, identify missed PAD opportunities, and make sure your 2024 tax return captures every dollar you’ve earned.
