Ep #93: Learn How to Take Advantage of and Profit from Real Estate Tax Credit Programs – with Michael Zukerman

Our guest for this week’s show is Real estate investor, developer and Tax Credit Expert, Michael Zukerman. In case you’re wondering what Tax Credits are and how they play into the world of real estate development, let me give you a quick explanation. To encourage and promote the revitalization of cities and provide affordable housing by developers, the federal and state governments have created tax credit programs to incentivize investors and developers. These programs are very complex and can spell disaster to an inexperienced developer unless you know exactly how to navigate their murky waters, which is why we’ve decided to bring Michael onto the show.

Michael is a 30 plus year industry veteran and a leading authority in the complex world of tax credit programs, and is here today to help us better understand this exciting topic.
