“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is the QBI deduction and does it apply to rental real estate?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The 20% QBI deduction is one of the most valuable deductions available to Potrero real estate investors — but it requires careful qualification. Rental real estate qualifies if: (1) you qualify for REPS; (2) your STR qualifies under the STR loophole; or (3) you meet the rental real estate safe harbor (250+ hours of rental services, contemporaneous records). The deduction is limited for high-income taxpayers (phase-outs apply above $197,300 single / $394,600 married in 2026). KDA’s team will determine your QBI eligibility and maximize the deduction.”

“name”: “How does the One Big Beautiful Bill Act affect real estate investors in 2026?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), signed July 4, 2025, is the most significant tax legislation for real estate investors since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Key provisions for Potrero investors: (1) 100% bonus depreciation permanently restored for qualifying property placed in service after January 19, 2025; (2) TCJA individual income tax rates made permanent (37% top rate); (3) QBI deduction made permanent at 20%; (4) Section 179 limit increased; (5) estate tax exemption increased. For real estate investors, the permanent restoration of 100% bonus depreciation is the headline provision — it transforms cost segregation strategy from a temporary to a permanent planning tool.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does the $25,000 passive loss allowance work for rental property owners?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The $25,000 passive loss allowance allows rental property owners who ‘actively participate’ in their rentals to deduct up to $25,000 in rental losses against non-passive income — even without REPS qualification. Active participation is a low bar: you just need to make management decisions (approve tenants, set rents, authorize repairs). However, this allowance phases out between $100,000 and $150,000 of AGI — completely eliminated at $150,000. For Potrero investors with AGI above $150,000, the STR loophole or REPS is needed to unlock rental losses.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I handle the tax implications of a short sale or foreclosure on rental property?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “For Potrero real estate investors facing a short sale or foreclosure, the tax consequences can be significant and counterintuitive. You may owe taxes even though you received no cash — because the debt discharged is treated as proceeds. The good news: multiple exclusions may apply (insolvency, bankruptcy, qualified real property business indebtedness). KDA’s Potrero real estate CPA team will analyze your specific situation, determine which exclusions apply, and prepare the required IRS forms to minimize your tax liability from the distressed disposition.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is a charitable remainder trust (CRT) and how can it help real estate investors?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “A Charitable Remainder Trust is the right tool for Potrero real estate investors who want to: (1) sell a highly appreciated property without paying capital gains tax; (2) generate a reliable income stream; and (3) support a charitable cause. By transferring the property to a CRT before sale, the trust sells tax-free, reinvests the full proceeds, and pays you an annuity for life. You receive a charitable deduction for the present value of the remainder interest. KDA’s team will model the CRT income stream and tax benefits compared to a direct sale or 1031 exchange.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I optimize my real estate tax strategy if I’m a high-income W-2 employee?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “High-income W-2 employees in Potrero are the ideal clients for real estate tax strategy because they have the most to gain. At a 37% federal rate plus 13.3% California state tax (or 2.5% Arizona), every dollar of real estate loss that offsets W-2 income saves 50%+ in taxes. The STR loophole is the fastest path: buy a short-term rental in a strong market, materially participate (document 100+ hours), and generate $50,000–$200,000 in first-year losses through cost segregation + bonus depreciation. KDA’s Potrero real estate CPA team will model the exact tax savings for your income level and design the implementation plan.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What does a real estate CPA do that a regular CPA doesn’t?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Real estate tax law is a specialty within a specialty. A real estate CPA understands IRC Section 469 passive activity rules, Section 1250 depreciation recapture, Section 1031 like-kind exchanges, and the nuances of Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) — topics most general CPAs rarely encounter. KDA’s Potrero team handles these exclusively, which means your real estate portfolio gets the depth of expertise it deserves.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does a cash-out refinance affect my taxes on rental property?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “A cash-out refinance on a rental property does NOT create taxable income — loan proceeds are not income. This is the basis of the ‘buy, borrow, die’ strategy: you access the equity in your Potrero rental properties through refinancing, spend the cash tax-free, and never trigger capital gains or depreciation recapture. The trade-off is that mortgage interest on the cash-out portion may be limited depending on how you use the proceeds. If used for investment purposes (buying more rentals), the interest is fully deductible. KDA’s team will structure your refinancing strategy to maximize deductibility.”

}, {
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I calculate my basis in a rental property?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Basis tracking is one of the most important — and most neglected — aspects of real estate tax planning for Potrero investors. Your adjusted basis determines your taxable gain on sale, and errors in basis calculation can cost you thousands in unnecessary taxes or trigger IRS scrutiny. KDA’s real estate CPA team maintains a complete basis schedule for every client property, tracking purchase price, closing costs, capital improvements, and accumulated depreciation from day one through eventual sale.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is a Qualified Opportunity Zone investment and how does it compare to a 1031 exchange?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “A Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) investment allows you to defer capital gains from ANY asset sale (not just real estate) by investing the gain into a Qualified Opportunity Fund within 180 days. Unlike a 1031 exchange, you don’t need to reinvest the full proceeds — only the gain itself. If you hold the QOZ investment for 10+ years, all appreciation in the fund is completely tax-free. For Potrero investors with large capital gains from real estate sales, QOZ investments can be a powerful complement or alternative to a 1031 exchange. KDA’s team will compare both options for your specific situation.”
