How to Lower Property Taxes & Insurance on Rentals

In today's market, cash flow matters more than ever. With home prices flattening and rent growth slowing, real estate investors need to focus on what they can control—expenses. In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with Sam Thrash from Ownwell to break down how investors can lower two of their biggest costs: property taxes and insurance. Most investors assume property taxes are fixed—but they're not. In fact, many properties are over-assessed, and appealing your tax bill could save you hundreds or even thousands per year. Sam explains how the process works, why over 90% of property owners take no action, and how firms like Ownwell handle everything from filing appeals to negotiating with assessors. If you're a real estate investor looking to increase cash flow without raising rents, this is a strategy you can't afford to ignore. 🏠 Real Wealth listeners get 20% off of Ownwell's services.
