{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How does a 1031 exchange work?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"

A 1031 like-kind exchange lets you defer capital gains tax when you sell investment real estate and reinvest the proceeds in other qualifying property. The rules are strict: you generally have 45 days to identify replacement property and 180 days to close, and the funds must move through a qualified intermediary. We plan the exchange before you sell so it qualifies.

"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is cost segregation, and is it worth it?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Cost segregation breaks a property into components that depreciate over shorter lives, accelerating your deductions into the early years of ownership. Combined with bonus depreciation, it can produce large first-year deductions. It tends to be most valuable on higher-basis properties and when you can use the deductions, so we model the benefit before recommending a study.

"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is real estate professional status, and why does it matter?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Real estate professional (REP) status, under §469, lets you treat rental losses as non-passive so they can offset other income like wages or business profits. You must meet material-participation and hours tests, and documentation is critical. We assess whether you qualify and help you structure and record your activities to support it.

"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why can't I deduct my rental losses?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Rental real estate is generally passive, so losses can usually only offset passive income—unless you qualify as a real estate professional or meet an exception. Disallowed losses aren't lost; they're suspended and can be used later. We help you manage these limits and, where possible, free up losses you can use now.

"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do you also keep the books for my properties?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Yes. We pair investor tax strategy with clean bookkeeping and investor-ready reporting, so your lenders and partners get what they need and your return is built on solid records. We also coordinate with your overall tax planning across all your investments.
