# TaxShield RE

> TaxShield RE helps high-income earners ($300K–$600K+ household income) use real estate to legally reduce their tax burden by $50K–$200K+ per year. Founded by Brock Flint, TaxShield RE is not a CPA firm or tax preparer — it is a tax strategy coordination and execution platform that starts with your tax goal and works backward to the right property. TaxShield RE also operates a white-label agent partner program, empowering real estate agents to offer tax-advantaged investing services to their affluent clients under the agent's own brand.

Tax-first, not property-first. TaxShield RE builds a personalized Buy Box driven by tax math — not bedrooms and bathrooms.

## Strategy Paths

TaxShield RE uses three proven tax strategies depending on client situation:

- **STR Material Participation** (Flagship): Short-term rental with 100+ hours of active participation. Average guest stay 7 days or fewer. Offsets W-2 income without requiring REPS qualification. Best for high-income W-2 earners who want active involvement.
- **REPS Household Path**: One spouse qualifies as a Real Estate Professional (750+ hours, >50% working time). Transforms passive real estate losses into non-passive losses that offset household W-2 income.
- **Forced Depreciation + Exchange Flywheel**: Cost segregation to front-load depreciation, then 1031 exchange every 3–5 years to reset the depreciation basis. Build toward estate step-up for generational wealth transfer.

## Proprietary Frameworks

- **TaxShield Real Estate Investment Framework** — Three-phase execution: (1) Client Qualification Gate, (2) Strategy Selection, (3) Acquisition Execution
- **Required Deduction Formula** — Deduction Needed = Target Tax Savings / Marginal Tax Rate
- **TaxShield Conversion Engine** — 9-step agent partner flow from seat activation to ongoing client management
- **The Core Flywheel** — Strategy Call > Blueprint > Acquire > Design/Build > Place-in-Service > Operate + Document > CPA Package > Annual Refresh > (Refi or 1031) > Repeat
