Real Estate
The tax code rewards real estate. We make sure you collect.
From cost segregation to 1031 exchanges to short-term rental rules, real estate offers some of the richest planning opportunities in the code — and the most ways to leave money behind. We make sure you don't.
Key Challenges
We understand what keeps real estate businesses up at night.
Depreciation & Cost Segregation
Most property owners depreciate on the standard 27.5 or 39-year schedule and leave significant money behind. Cost segregation studies identify assets eligible for accelerated depreciation, front-loading deductions and improving cash flow.
1031 Exchanges
A like-kind exchange is one of the most powerful tax deferral tools available — and one of the easiest to lose through procedural missteps. We guide you through every timeline, identification requirement, and reinvestment deadline to keep the exchange intact.
Passive Activity & Material Participation
Whether losses from your properties can offset active income depends on how you participate. We analyze your activity level, document real estate professional status where applicable, and structure operations to maximize deductibility.
Short-Term Rental Rules
Properties rented for fewer than 7 days on average are subject to different rules than traditional rentals — and can unlock non-passive loss treatment. We ensure your STR activity is properly classified and your deductions fully captured.
