Most people do not hold back from investing because they are short on money. They hold back because nobody ever explained how any of it works. This series exists to fix that, one topic at a time, from the ground up.
Hosted by Jeremy Dyer, VP of Capital Formation at Rise48 Equity.
Presented by Chad Ackerman of Chad Ackerman Real Estate.
A free monthly series from Rise48 Equity, one hour at a time.
Passive Investing Made Simple
Chad Ackerman coaches passive real estate investors. Rise48 Equity acquires and operates multifamily communities across Arizona, Texas and North Carolina. Together we host a free session each month on one thing worth understanding before you ever put a dollar to work.
Come to the topics that matter to you and skip the rest. Each one stands on its own, so there is nothing to catch up on and nothing to sign up for beyond the hour itself.
Words you will hear on these calls: cap rate
We walk through how passive investing actually works, start to finish - jargon translated, nothing assumed - so the whole process feels clear and approachable.
Every session ends with live Q&A, and you are in a room of people working through the same questions you are.
Every session is recorded and added to the catalog, so you can watch or rewatch on your own time.
Wednesday, November 410:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET
For this discussion we will cover one of the advantages of passive investing: receiving income from a deal while still showing a loss on paper. It is not a loophole or a trick. It is how real estate has worked for decades, through things like cost segregation and bonus depreciation.
We will walk through why passive ownership is taxed so differently from the income you earn at work, how those paper losses appear on your K-1, and help you understand the recapture process. General principles only. Nothing in this session is tax advice.
Whether you are new to passive investing or already holding positions, you will have a clearer view of what shows up on your return.

VP of Capital Formation, Rise48 Equity
Jeremy spent 25 years in tech sales before moving into real estate, first through fix and flip projects, then as a limited partner in passive deals, and eventually founding his own fund, Starting Point Capital. He now leads capital formation at Rise48 Equity and talks with first-time passive investors every week.
Founder, Chad Ackerman Real Estate
Chad spent 25 years designing the bonus and incentive plans other people's futures depended on, while his own rode on a single paycheck. He has been a passive investor since 2018 and later helped build one of the largest passive investor communities in the country, where he watched thousands of people hit the same wall: not knowing where to start. He teaches as an educator and fellow investor, never as a financial advisor.
A vertically integrated operator with its own property management and construction companies and more than 300 full-time employees. Rise48 Equity acquires and operates multifamily communities across Arizona, Texas and North Carolina, handling acquisition, renovation and day-to-day operations in house rather than handing them to third parties.
