Frequently Asked Questions

A 1031 exchange allows you to sell an investment property and defer all capital gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds into a like-kind replacement property. To qualify, you must identify a replacement property within 45 days and close within 180 days of the sale. Proper planning and documentation are critical — we guide you through the entire process to ensure full compliance and maximum tax deferral.
Residential rental properties are depreciated over 27.5 years, while commercial properties are depreciated over 39 years. This annual deduction can significantly reduce your taxable rental income even when the property is cash-flow positive. Cost segregation studies can accelerate depreciation on certain components, generating even larger deductions in the early years of ownership. We manage your depreciation schedules across your entire portfolio.
It depends on your income level and level of participation. Passive activity loss rules generally limit rental losses to offset only passive income. However, if your adjusted gross income is below $100,000 and you actively participate in managing the property, you may deduct up to $25,000 in rental losses against ordinary income. Real estate professionals who meet specific IRS criteria can deduct unlimited rental losses. We analyze your situation to maximize your deduction eligibility.
Yes — most real estate agents and brokers are classified as independent contractors and are therefore subject to self-employment tax (15.3%) on their net commission income. With proper entity structuring, such as an S-Corp election, you may be able to significantly reduce this tax burden. We evaluate your commission income and recommend the most tax-efficient structure for your situation.
