For real estate investors & agents

Accounting that speaks cap rate, depreciation, and 1031.

Most accountants treat a rental portfolio like a corner store. We do not. Books kept by property, every dollar of depreciation and cost segregation captured, 1031 exchanges handled, and the tax moves real estate actually rewards, from a licensed CPA who knows the asset class.

Depreciation and per-property tracking break generic books

Multiple properties, mortgages, depreciation schedules, passive-loss rules, and 1031s turn into a mess when a generalist treats every deposit as income. We keep the books by property, run depreciation and cost segregation properly, and make the tax moves real estate actually rewards, before the IRS or a lender asks.

  • 1031 exchanges handledLike-kind exchanges structured and reported correctly, so the gain is deferred instead of taxed.

Real work

What that looks like in practice

Real estate · cost segregation

A year of rental income, sheltered.

A buy-and-hold investor with several doors had never looked at cost segregation. We flagged that it paid, a specialist ran the study, and we applied it on the return, pulling years of depreciation forward into the first year.

ResultA first-year deduction that wiped out the year's rental income for tax.
Real estate · agent / S-corp

Self-employment tax, cut every year.

A top-producing agent was paying full self-employment tax on every commission. We elected S-corp status and restructured how she was paid.

ResultThousands in self-employment tax saved, every year going forward.
Real estate · 1031 exchange

A sale that rolled, instead of a tax bill.

An owner selling a fourplex was about to trigger a large capital gain. We structured a 1031 exchange and coordinated the deadlines with the intermediary.

ResultThe gain deferred in full, rolled into the next building.

Owner questions

Honest answers, up front

Do you actually know real estate, or just general bookkeeping?
Both. We keep the books by property and we speak NOI, cap rate, DSCR, depreciation, and 1031. The point is that your tax return and your portfolio numbers finally agree, instead of living in two different spreadsheets.
What is cost segregation, and is it worth it?
It is an engineering-based study, run by a cost-segregation specialist, that reclassifies parts of a property into faster depreciation and pulls years of deductions forward into year one. On the right property it can wipe out a year of rental income for tax. Our role is to tell you when it pays for itself before you spend a dollar, and to apply the result correctly on your return.
Can you handle a 1031 exchange?
Yes. We structure the like-kind exchange and report it correctly so the gain is deferred, and we coordinate the timing with your qualified intermediary so the 45-day and 180-day deadlines do not blow it up.
I'm a real estate agent, not an investor. Can you help?
Yes. For agents and brokers the big move is usually an S-corp election to cut self-employment tax on commission income, plus clean books and quarterly estimates so nothing is a surprise in April. We handle all of it.
I have properties in both the US and Canada. Does that matter?
It can matter a lot, and it is our specialty. Cross-border owners get the both-countries treatment on top of the real estate work, from a CPA licensed in both.
How do we get started?
