For Real Estate Investors

Your portfolio is complex. Your planning should match.

You’ve built positions in LTRs, syndications, maybe some STR or commercial. You have a CPA who files and a brokerage account no one is integrating. What you don’t have is one advisor coordinating the tax strategy, entity structure, estate plan, and exit timing across every property.

What We Handle

The planning real estate investors actually need.

Specific, technical, sequenced. We work with real estate investors every day — these are the conversations that move the numbers.

Depreciation Strategy

Cost segregation study sequencing across acquisitions, bonus depreciation phase-down modeling, §1250 recapture forecasting at exit, and passive loss carryforward tracking under §469. The difference between a reactive depreciation schedule and a planned one is six figures over a hold period.

1031 Exchanges

45-day identification windows. 180-day closing deadlines. Qualified intermediary selection. Reverse exchange structures. DST fallback when the target property falls through on day 40. We model the deferred tax liability across the next three swaps before you ever sign the relinquished-property contract.

Entity Structures

Series LLC strategy across state lines, holding-company architecture for asset protection, S-Corp election timing for property management income, and land trust use for privacy. Every property held in your personal name is a lawsuit away from threatening everything else you own.

Passive vs. Active Income

REPS qualification documentation, the 750-hour material participation threshold, short-term rental loophole eligibility, and how the passive-vs-active classification of your rental income changes your entire tax bill — and your eligibility to offset W-2 or business income with paper losses.

Self-Directed IRA / Solo 401(k)

Checkbook control structures, UBIT/UDFI exposure on leveraged property, prohibited transaction rules under §4975, and disqualified person analysis. One prohibited transaction blows up the entire account’s tax-advantaged status. We architect the structure so you capture the opportunity without triggering disqualification.

Portfolio Integration

Rental income, equity, leverage, vacancy assumptions, capital expenditure reserves, and concentration risk all integrated into one financial picture — alongside your brokerage accounts, retirement assets, and business equity. Because 80% of your net worth in one asset class is a plan. It’s just not a complete one.

The difference between a reactive depreciation schedule and a planned one is six figures over a hold period.

Our Approach

How we work with real estate investors

Concrete coordinations, not generic feature lists. We speak your language — cap rates, cash-on-cash, DSCR, REPS, cost seg, DST.

When you’re considering a 1031. We model the deferred tax liability across the next three swaps, sequence the cost segregation studies on the replacement property, and coordinate with the qualified intermediary before you sign the relinquished-property contract.

When you cross 750 hours of material participation. We document the REPS qualification, restructure the entity election, and model the passive loss release against your W-2 or business income.

When your STR generates $200K+/year. We design the entity around it, plan the depreciation timing under the short-term rental rules, and model the eventual exit — whether that’s a sale, a 1031, or a Delaware Statutory Trust roll.

When you’re weighing another property against the brokerage account. We model both scenarios — leverage, tax impact, liquidity, concentration risk, and your goals — and give you the numbers so you can make the call with confidence.

Flat fee. One number, set annually. It doesn’t change when you close on another property or when your portfolio value moves.

Every property held in your personal name is a lawsuit away from threatening everything else you own.

Questions From Real Estate Investors

Do you manage real estate properties?
No. We don't manage properties, find deals, or act as brokers. We handle the financial planning side — tax strategy, entity structuring, cash flow projections, retirement planning, and investment management for your non-real-estate assets. We work alongside your property manager, CPA, and attorney.
How do you handle the tax side of real estate?
We build proactive tax strategies around your real estate holdings. Depreciation schedules, 1031 exchange planning, REPS qualification, passive activity rules — we model all of it. Then we coordinate directly with your CPA so nothing gets missed at filing time. We don't file taxes. We make sure your tax strategy is intentional, not reactive.
I already have a CPA who specializes in real estate. Why do I need you?
Your CPA handles compliance — filing returns and keeping you legal. We handle strategy — multi-year tax projections, entity optimization, when to sell vs. hold vs. exchange, and how your real estate fits into your broader financial life. The best outcomes happen when a good CPA and a good planner are working together. We make that coordination seamless.
What does your flat fee include for real estate investors?
Everything. Tax strategy, investment management for your non-real-estate portfolio, 1031 exchange coordination, entity structure review, retirement planning, insurance review, and ongoing advice. One flat fee, set annually. No extra charges when you close on a new property.
Can you help me decide between buying more real estate and investing in the market?
Yes. This is one of the most important questions we help clients answer. We model both scenarios — including leverage, tax impact, liquidity, concentration risk, and your personal goals. The right answer is different for everyone, and it changes over time. We give you the numbers so you can make the call with confidence.
Do you work with investors who only have a few properties?
Yes. Whether you have two rentals or twenty, the planning needs are real. Entity structure, depreciation strategy, and portfolio integration matter at every scale. Most of our real estate clients have between 3 and 100 properties, but we work with investors at all levels.
Because 80% of your net worth in one asset class is a plan. It’s just not a complete one.
