What is: Tax-Smart Investing?
“Tax-Smart Investing” refers to a strategic approach to investments that aims to optimize tax outcomes.
It involves utilizing various rules and incentives within the U.S. Tax Code to minimize tax liability and maximize after-tax returns.
The goal is to take advantage of any applicable deductions, credits, and other favorable tax treatments to reduce your tax payout.
Section 179, Bonus Depreciation, STR Loopholes, Cost Segregation Studies, Real Estate Professional Status …
These are all examples of provisions that can be strategically used to reduce taxable income, ultimately leading to potential tax savings for investors.

The KOR Capital Fund Model
Investing in the downtown core of Tampa Bay’s secondary and tertiary markets
“My investment model revolves around buying property in downtown cores within secondary and tertiary markets.
From multi-family units to restaurants and medical offices, we diversify across various real estate sectors. We buy everything.
Contrary to popular belief, we’re not just purchasing buildings; we’re investing in the potential of the land beneath them.
It’s essentially a covered land play, allowing for strategic redevelopment in the future.
Whether it’s a complete renovation or a change in the building’s use, the focus is on leveraging prime locations.
In the real estate business, it’s all about location, location, location — the key to unlocking long-term wealth.”
