Before You Buy
Is the deal actually a good deal?
Before you close, we can look beyond the purchase price and projected return to understand the financial and tax implications of the investment.
That can include:
Acquisition structure
Entity selection
Financing
Cash requirements
Projected cash flow
Depreciation
Tax consequences
Exit considerations
The tax benefit won’t make a bad deal good but it can make a good deal better.
While You Own It
Know how the property is actually performing.
A property can look profitable on paper while consuming cash—or generate strong cash flow while creating a very different tax picture.
I can help you understand:
Property-level profitability
Cash flow
Debt service
Operating expenses
Capital expenditures
Depreciation
Owner distributions
Property tax considerations
Portfolio performance
For investors with multiple properties, the goal is to understand the portfolio as well as the individual properties.
When You're Selling
The tax consequences start before the sale.
Selling a property can create significant tax consequences depending on the structure, basis, timing and circumstances of the transaction.
We can evaluate the tax implications before the transaction is finalized and help you understand the alternatives.
Potential considerations include:
Gain recognition
Depreciation recapture
Entity considerations
Timing
Installment considerations
1031 exchange considerations
Reinvestment
Cash available after taxes
Before you sign, let's understand what happens after you close.
When You're Building
Construction changes the game.
Development and construction introduce another layer of accounting, financing and tax considerations.
I can help with:
Development entity structure
Construction accounting
Project profitability
Cost allocation
Capitalized costs
Financing
Draws and cash requirements
Depreciation
Tax planning
Project-level financial analysis
You don't need a CPA who has simply read about construction. You need one who understands how the project works.
Real Estate Tax Strategy
Planning may involve…..
Entity structure
Depreciation
Cost segregation
Capital expenditures
Passive activity considerations
Real estate professional considerations
1031 exchanges
Transaction timing
Income and loss planning
Estate and ownership considerations
The important point is that these strategies need to fit the investment, rather than the investment being driven by the tax strategy.
