“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does the at-risk rules limitation affect real estate investors?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The at-risk rules (IRC Section 465) limit your deductible losses to the amount you have ‘at risk’ in the activity — generally your cash investment plus any recourse debt for which you are personally liable. For real estate, qualified nonrecourse financing (loans from commercial lenders secured by the property) is treated as at-risk, which is a special exception that makes real estate more favorable than other investments. Most Dewey-Humboldt real estate investors are not limited by the at-risk rules because their mortgage debt qualifies as at-risk. KDA’s team will confirm your at-risk status and ensure your losses are fully deductible.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I handle mixed-use property (part personal, part rental) for tax purposes?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “House hacking — living in one unit of a multi-unit property and renting the others — is a popular strategy for Dewey-Humboldt real estate investors. The tax treatment: you allocate income and expenses between personal use (your unit) and rental use (tenant units) based on square footage or unit count. The rental portion generates full deductions including depreciation. When you sell, the rental portion is subject to capital gains and depreciation recapture; the personal portion may qualify for the Section 121 exclusion. KDA’s team will optimize your house hacking tax strategy.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What are the deadlines for a 1031 exchange?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The 45-day identification deadline is the most commonly missed in a 1031 exchange. You have exactly 45 calendar days from the sale of your relinquished property to identify up to three replacement properties (or more under the 200% rule or 95% rule). The 180-day closing deadline runs concurrently from the same sale date. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt real estate CPA team begins exchange planning months before your sale to ensure you have replacement properties identified and under contract before the clock starts.”

}, {
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does depreciation work for a rental property I converted from my primary residence?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Primary residence conversions require careful basis tracking. Your depreciation basis is the lower of adjusted cost basis or FMV at conversion — meaning you cannot depreciate appreciation that occurred while it was your home. However, you can do a cost segregation study on the converted property to accelerate depreciation on the building components. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt team handles these conversions regularly and ensures you maximize every available deduction from day one of rental use.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does real estate investing affect my FAFSA and financial aid eligibility?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Real estate investments can affect FAFSA financial aid eligibility in several ways. Rental income increases your AGI, which directly reduces financial aid eligibility. Investment properties are reported as assets on the FAFSA (at current market value minus debt), which also reduces aid. However, the family home and retirement accounts are generally excluded from FAFSA asset calculations. For Dewey-Humboldt investors with college-age children, strategic timing of income recognition and property sales can minimize FAFSA impact. KDA’s team will model the FAFSA implications of your real estate portfolio.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does inflation affect my real estate tax strategy?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Inflation is both a friend and a foe for Dewey-Humboldt real estate investors from a tax perspective. The friend: inflation increases property values and rental income, building wealth. The foe: depreciation deductions are based on historical cost — not inflation-adjusted values — so the real value of your depreciation deductions erodes over time. The solution: accelerate depreciation through cost segregation (take deductions now, when they’re worth more) and use 1031 exchanges to reset your basis to current market value. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt team will design a depreciation acceleration strategy that maximizes the real (inflation-adjusted) value of your deductions.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Can I do a cost segregation study on a property I’ve owned for years?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Yes — this is called a ‘catch-up’ or ‘look-back’ cost segregation study, and it’s one of the most powerful strategies for investors who have owned properties for years without doing a study. Using IRS Form 3115, you can claim all the accelerated depreciation you should have taken in prior years as a single deduction in the current year. No amended returns required. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt team regularly identifies six-figure deduction opportunities for investors who thought they had already maximized their depreciation.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is a 1031 exchange and how can a CPA help me use it?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “A 1031 exchange is the most powerful wealth-building tool available to real estate investors. By deferring capital gains and depreciation recapture, you keep 100% of your equity working for you instead of paying 20–37% to the IRS. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt team coordinates every aspect of your 1031 exchange — identifying replacement properties, working with qualified intermediaries, meeting the 45-day identification and 180-day closing deadlines, and ensuring full compliance with IRS requirements.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “When should a real estate investor hire a CPA?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “If you’re asking when to hire a real estate CPA, the answer is immediately. Every month without a tax strategy is a month of missed deductions. The IRS gives real estate investors extraordinary tax advantages — depreciation, cost segregation, 1031 exchanges, REPS — but only if you know how to use them. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt team will audit your current tax position in a free consultation and show you exactly what you’ve been leaving on the table.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is the 14-day rule for vacation rental properties?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The 14-day personal use rule is critical for Dewey-Humboldt STR owners who also use their property personally. If personal use exceeds 14 days (or 10% of rental days), the IRS classifies the property as a vacation home, limiting deductions to rental income and eliminating the ability to generate a tax loss. To preserve the STR loophole, personal use must stay at or below 14 days per year. KDA’s team will set up a personal use tracking system and advise on the optimal balance between personal enjoyment and tax optimization.”
