We serve real estate investors, syndicators, landlords, and small developers throughout the United States

We’re a good fit if you:

Own one or more long‑term rental properties

Operate short‑term rentals or mixed‑use properties

Hold small to mid‑sized commercial or multifamily assets

Are an active investor or developer running value‑add or ground‑up projects

Participate in real estate funds or syndications and need K‑1 coordination

If you’re trying to understand how all of this fits together at tax time, we're here to help.

Common challenges we help with

Real estate creates opportunity, but also complexity. Typical issues we see:

  • Income and expenses scattered across multiple entities and accounts

  • Unsure when cost segregation is worth the effort

  • Confusion around 1031 exchanges, refinances, and dispositions

  • Short‑term rentals and mixed‑use properties that do not fit cleanly into one box

  • Prior returns that may not fully reflect improvements, basis, or elections

  • Clarity on whether you meet material or substantial participation tests, or qualify as a real estate professional for tax purposes

Our goal is to make the picture legible so you can make better decisions, not just file returns.

How we support real estate clients

Tax preparation for real estate portfolios

We handle returns for:

  • Individuals with rental schedules

  • Partnerships and LLCs that hold property (with or without 3rd party investors)

  • S‑Corps or management entities connected to your deals

We focus on getting depreciation, expenses, and allocations right, and on keeping a clean paper trail from year to year.

Cost segregation, when it makes sense

We help you:

  • Identify which properties and projects are good candidates

  • Estimate the potential tax savings before you commit

  • Execute studies and coordinate implementation on your returns

  • Generate enhanced yields for investors

Cost segregation can significantly accelerate depreciation on qualifying properties.

Entity structure and planning

As your portfolio grows, structure starts to matter more:

  • Choosing between single‑member LLCs, partnerships, and S‑Corps

  • Deciding how to group or separate assets and activities

  • Planning for new acquisitions, JV deals, or bringing in partners

We do not replace legal counsel, but we ensure tax and accounting implications are clear as you make structure decisions.

When is cost segregation worth considering?

It typically makes sense for larger properties, short‑term rentals, or significant renovations where you have taxable income to offset. It can also be a strong fit for first‑time investment property buyers who want to front‑load deductions and improve early cash flow. During Intake, we’ll help you understand whether a study is likely to provide meaningful benefit.

How do you handle properties in different states?

Multi‑state ownership is common for our clients. We’ll help manage the additional state filings, handle required non‑resident withholding and composite returns where applicable, and keep track of how income and taxes are allocated.

Do you coordinate with my property manager or bookkeeper?

We can. Many clients have day‑to‑day bookkeeping or management handled elsewhere; we plug in at the tax and planning layer, reconcile property manager and bookkeeper records, and coordinate as needed.
