What clients say

How he got here

  1. 1991

    Born in Utah

    Money was tight at home. He was taught to save, to avoid spending, and that debt was bad. At 13 he washed dishes for his parents, and he hated it.

  2. 2011

    Mission in South Korea

    He served a church mission in South Korea from June 2011 to June 2013.

  3. 2016

    First interest in real estate

    A cousin kept telling him to learn real estate. He held back, because he thought all debt was bad and did not understand leverage yet.

  4. 2017

    Learning, then a sales job

    He spent his free time on podcasts, YouTube, and talks with his cousin, and the numbers started to make sense. In June he started a corporate software sales job.

  5. 2018

    A 4-plex house hack

    He and his wife bought a 4-plex with about $25,000 down after closing costs and lived in one unit for a year. The rent from the other three units covered the mortgage.

  6. 2019

    More rentals

    He bought duplexes with hard money, fixed them up, and used a cash-out refinance to get his money back for the next deal. In his first two and a half years in real estate he reached around 40 units and about $8,000 a month in cash flow.

  7. 2020

    Legacy Investing Show starts

    Friends, family, and coworkers kept asking him about real estate. In late 2020 he decided to answer in public and post every day for 90 days, whatever the results.

  8. 2021

    Left the corporate job

    He stayed in software sales until December 2021, then left to work on Legacy Investing Show.

What he teaches

Tax strategy
Which deductions, structures, and timing decisions apply to a situation, and in what order.
Investment planning
How to choose between assets on the numbers rather than on the story attached to them.
Business structures
Entity choice, ownership, and how the structure changes what you owe.
Retirement accounts
Solo 401(k)s, IRAs, conversions, and the trade-offs between them.
Debt management
Paying down debt as one option among several, compared against investing the same dollar.
Alternative income
Airbnb arbitrage and other income streams that do not depend on a salary.
Worth knowing

Airbnb arbitrage is about 20% of the work, and it is the part people know him for. The other 80% is tax strategy, investment planning, structures, and retirement.

Students typically earn $75K+. Most are high earners paying more tax than they expected, business owners deciding how to pay themselves, real estate investors sizing up depreciation and entity choices, or professionals building a first wealth system.

Where he publishes

How enrollment works

Why is there no price on the website?

We run several programs, and many people join two of them together as a bundle. Each one also has different financing and payment plans. So no single price on a web page would be true for everyone. You get the price for your situation on a call.

How do I find out what a program costs?

Book a call with our team. On the call you get the price for the program that fits you and the ways you can pay for it. If you have not met Preston yet, start with the free tax masterclass.

What happens on the call?

A member of our team asks about your income, your taxes, your goals, and your timeline. Then they tell you which program fits, what it includes, what it costs, and how you can pay. Bring your questions. You can ask anything about the programs.

Are payment plans and financing available?

Yes. There are payment plans and financing options. The team goes through the ones that are open to you on the call.

What does each program include?

Legacy Wealth Blueprint: lifetime access to the video curriculum, a custom wealth plan, weekly live coaching calls with replays, the Wealth Circle community, a one-on-one Legacy Wealth Guide, an optional review of your last tax return, a brief for your CPA, the Legacy Wealth AI Advisor, and a free seat for your spouse. Airbnb Ascension: a one-on-one STR coach, the Airbnb Arbitrage Roadmap course, weekly live calls, a profit report on each deal before you sign a lease, and done-for-you listing, furnishing, and guest messaging setup. STR Concierge: the team finds and underwrites properties for you to buy, supports you through closing, sets up the listing and operations, plans the tax side with cost segregation and entity setup, and reviews performance after launch.
