Real Estate Tax Strategies to Protect & Grow Your Portfolio

Real estate remains one of the most tax-advantaged asset classes in the United States—if you have the right team structuring your deals. Whether you hold residential multi-family units, commercial developments, or short-term vacation rentals, Maple Tax Consulting ensures you leverage every allowable dollar of depreciation and deduction.

Core Real Estate Tax Solutions

• Real Estate Professional Status (REPS): Qualify under IRC Section 469(c)(7) to offset non-passive ordinary income against rental depreciation losses.
• Cost Segregation Studies: Accelerate depreciation from 27.5 or 39 years down to 5, 7, and 15-year intervals, unlocking hundreds of thousands in first-year deductions.
• 1031 Like-Kind Exchanges: Defer capital gains and depreciation recapture taxes indefinitely when exchanging qualifying investment properties.
• Short-Term Rental Loophole: Strategic handling of properties with average tenant stays under 7 days to actively offset active income without meeting full REPS criteria.
• Section 199A Qualified Business Income (QBI): Maximize the 20% pass-through deduction on qualifying rental operations.
