  • PRO SECRET: How to Slash Your Tax Bill with Real Estate Tactics!

    PRO SECRET: How to Slash Your Tax Bill with Real Estate Tactics!
    Aug 11 2026
    In this Ask Me Anything episode of the Paul Morris Podcast, Paul Mark Morris explains how homeowners can rent out their primary home for up to 14 days per year with zero federal income tax on the rent under Section 280A (“Augusta Rule”), and how going to 15 days removes the exclusion and changes the strategy. He shares cautions about local short-term rental rules, HOAs, insurance, and documentation, including a business-owner approach where a company may deduct reasonable rent for legitimate meetings held at the home. Morris also breaks down the “100% write-off” via cost segregation and bonus depreciation, what income it can offset, passive-loss limits, and recapture and state conformity issues. He then answers investor questions on LLC pros/cons and costs, whether to buy now or wait for rates, real estate’s outlook for 2026, investing out of state, and ADU vs. another property. *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Tax Free Side Hustle 00:00:53 Market Snapshot Today 00:01:12 Important Disclaimer 00:03:10 14 Day Rental Rule 00:06:05 Business Meeting Rent 00:08:05 Bonus Depreciation 100% 00:12:28 LLC Pros and Cons 00:17:07 Buy Now or Wait 00:19:09 Real Estate in 2026 00:22:59 Where to Invest 00:24:32 ADU Versus Rental 00:26:54 Final Disclaimer Wrap Learn more about your ad choices.

    UNBELIEVABLE PROFITS: Flipping Foreclosures & Hidden Deals! Discover How to Break Into Real Estate!
    Jul 13 2026
    Paul Morris and Josh Spitzen interview real estate entrepreneur Daryl Owen, who describes being inspired at 14 to buy investment property, then purchasing his first rental at 19 while working at Papa John’s, struggling to rent it, and selling it two years later for a modest gain that pushed him into getting his real estate license. He shares lessons from buying an expensive personal home before 2008, losing money, and rebuilding by living below his means, then getting hooked on flipping after a first profitable deal and doing hundreds more. Daryl discusses mistakes (including permit issues), choosing between selling “home runs” and holding, using strategies like 1031 exchanges and cost segregation, and his current portfolio (~$10M holdings, ~$4.2K/month net cash flow). He emphasizes sourcing off-market deals via high-volume outreach, deciding quickly, and advising investors to stop waiting for perfection, buy decent deals, and hold long term, with future focus on multifamily value-add and ADUs. *Daryl Owen* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darylrowen/ Website: https://www.zillow.com/profile/Daryl%20Owen *Josh Spitzen* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spitzenjosh/ Website: https://forwardone.com/agents/josh-spitzen/ *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:00:39 Real Estate Spark 00:01:58 First Rental Lessons 00:04:17 Get In The Game 00:05:28 Ego And Lifestyle Trap 00:06:18 Rebuilding After 2008 00:08:02 First Flip Breakthrough 00:09:48 Scaling Holds And Mistakes 00:11:31 Big Exits And Regrets 00:15:08 Deal Sourcing Playbook 00:17:43 Buy Now Hold Forever 00:19:14 Fourplex Deal Regrets 00:20:31 Renovation And Big Offer 00:22:01 Healthy Profit And 1031 00:23:16 Value Add Cap Rate Math 00:25:15 Rebuilding After Divorce 00:26:35 Multifamily And ADU Strategy 00:29:51 Income To Assets Mindset 00:31:35 Entry Level Rental Moat 00:36:20 Buy Buckets And Flips 00:37:38 Deal Sourcing With Team 00:38:53 Get In The Game Advice 00:39:25 Top Of The List Rules 00:40:57 Long Beach 24 Unit Close 00:41:42 Final Thanks And Wrap Learn more about your ad choices.

  • INVESTOR ALERT: Is The Real Estate Market On The Verge Of Recession Or Recovery?

    INVESTOR ALERT: Is The Real Estate Market On The Verge Of Recession Or Recovery?
    Jul 6 2026
    Paul Mark Morris argues the housing market is not heading for a 2026 crash, pointing to existing home sales rising 3.2% in May to a 4.17M annual pace (highest since December), with gains across most regions and first-time buyers at 35%, while prices keep climbing due to tight supply (about 4.5 months) and improved affordability (index 105.6). He explains mortgage rates remain stable around 6.5% despite expectations the Fed won’t cut in July, and highlights a surprising divergence: despite US-Iran strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, oil and gas prices are falling, easing inflation pressure. He also breaks down the proposed 21st Century Road to Housing Act, which would cap large institutional investors (350+ homes) from buying more single-family homes, potentially reducing competition for small investors, and outlines regional shifts with Sun Belt cooling and Midwest/Northeast strengthening. *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 War Headlines Divergence 00:00:48 Show Intro Disclaimers 00:01:42 No 2026 Housing Crash 00:02:20 Sales Demand Rebound 00:04:49 Prices Supply Affordability 00:10:30 Mortgage Rates Reality 00:12:43 Fed Cuts And Mortgages 00:14:43 War Oil Gas Twist 00:18:38 Investor Cap Housing Bill 00:23:54 Hottest Coldest Markets 00:29:03 Luxury Market Signal 00:32:01 Three Moves Next 90 00:35:06 Wrap Up/Disclaimer Learn more about your ad choices.

  • MARKET CRISIS: Will the Housing Market Survive the Coming Storm?

    MARKET CRISIS: Will the Housing Market Survive the Coming Storm?
    Jun 23 2026
    Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this State of the Market episode, I break down why the housing crash so many people are waiting for still is not showing up in the data. Existing home sales just hit a five-month high, prices are still rising year over year, inventory remains far from crash territory, and first-time buyers are back in the market. I also walk through the bigger forces shaping real estate right now: mortgage rates, inflation, gas prices, the Fed, the war’s impact on oil, and why global headlines can quietly affect your monthly payment. But the biggest lesson is that national data only gets you so far. Your real edge as a buyer or investor comes from knowing your local market, your submarket, and even your street better than anyone else. I talk about why waiting for the perfect moment can cost you, why you should underwrite deals at today’s rates instead of betting on a refinance, and how buyers may still have a window to negotiate before the crowd comes back in. If you want to understand what is actually happening in the market without the hype, this episode is for you. *Connect with Paul*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorrisYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network*Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcastsMoney News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 State of the Market Intro 00:00:47 Crash in 2026 No 00:00:58 Sales Surge Despite Chaos 00:01:53 Inventory and Supply Explained 00:02:56 First Time Buyers Return 00:04:28 Forecasts and Local Reality 00:05:52 Hot and Cold Metro Swings 00:08:19 Micro Markets Matter Most 00:10:35 Is Now a Good Time 00:11:12 Buyer Leverage and Waiting Cost 00:13:10 Local Edge and ADUs 00:15:19 Mortgage Rates in 2026 00:16:12 Oil to Rates Chain 00:18:39 Fed Shift and Warsh 00:21:34 War Peace Gas and Action Plan Learn more about your ad choices.

  • URGENT SHIFT: Digital Wealth is Dying and Real Estate Holds the Key!

    URGENT SHIFT: Digital Wealth is Dying and Real Estate Holds the Key!
    Jun 15 2026
    Paul Mark Morris explains a major shift away from SaaS as agentic AI becomes accessible to non-programmers, citing his own use of OpenClaw to run task-completing AI agents and the implication that tools like CRMs can be built quickly without traditional development teams. He connects this disruption to falling SaaS valuations, highlighting Salesforce’s drop from $337B to $179B by March 2026 despite rising revenue, and argues markets are pricing in a broken seat-based SaaS model. Morris describes a rotation toward hard assets, prompted by a conversation with nine-figure entrepreneur Mike Lazarow (who sold a company to Salesforce for $785M), and outlines three real estate plays: data centers (via REITs like Equinix and Digital Realty), multifamily amid shrinking supply and a 2026 debt-maturity-driven distress window, and secondary-market residential growth driven by AI-enabled migration.
