Natasha began her career as an accountant at a prominent firm. She was assigned to the real estate tax department, where she gained invaluable insights into investing. Eventually, she started working as a controller for a developer and after 18 years, she made the choice to delve into real estate investing independently.
“Estate planning and how you structure things should all come into play when you’re growing a portfolio.”

Natasha shares some of her insights into real estate taxes.
- Focus on proper estate planning – make sure to own your assets in LLCs instead of your personal name.
- Depreciation is a key strategy to reduce your taxable income. By claiming depreciation on your properties, you can lower your tax burden.
Natasha currently owns a portfolio of 108 units across 7 properties. Her journey began in 2020 with a studio apartment in South Florida and her tenants predominantly consist of immigrant families. Natasha prioritizes location over property size when selecting investments.
A significant portion of Natasha’s portfolio is syndicated. She is passionate about encouraging women to invest in real estate. With only 3% of women currently investing, she aims to bridge this gap.
“There are opportunities. It’s just hard work but we need to do the work to grow the business.”
