CRE Cash Flow vs. Tax Breaks with Brian Baniqued

Brian shares how he’s built a vertically integrated business covering everything from brokerage and mortgage services to property management and development.

You’ll learn how he leverages tax strategies like accelerated depreciation, why he shifted his focus back to California despite the high costs, and what it really takes to scale up in commercial real estate.
