{
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is depreciation recapture and how do I minimize it?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Depreciation recapture is unavoidable if you sell outright — but it is entirely deferrable. A 1031 exchange defers recapture indefinitely. A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) exchange provides a passive 1031 option for investors who want to exit active management. Dying with the property eliminates recapture entirely through the stepped-up basis. KDA’s Peoria real estate CPA team will model all exit scenarios and show you the after-tax proceeds under each option before you make any decisions.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Can a real estate CPA help me if I only own one rental property?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Yes — and in many cases, a single rental property owner benefits the most from professional guidance because they’re less likely to know the strategies available to them. A cost segregation study on a single property can generate $15,000–$40,000 in first-year deductions. Proper passive activity loss tracking can unlock deductions in future years. KDA’s Peoria team makes these strategies accessible to investors at every level.”
}
}, {
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is the tax treatment of real estate professional fees and commissions?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Transaction costs are one of the most commonly missed deductions for Peoria real estate investors. Buying costs increase your basis (reducing future gain). Selling costs reduce your taxable gain dollar-for-dollar. On a $2M property sale with $100,000 in selling costs, properly capturing those costs saves $20,000–37,000 in taxes. KDA’s Peoria real estate CPA team will review your closing statements, capture all transaction costs, and ensure they’re applied correctly to your basis and gain calculations.”

“@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 Peoria 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”: “What credentials should I look for in a real estate CPA?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The key credentials are CPA or EA licensure, real estate specialization, and IRS representation rights. Beyond credentials, look for a firm that does proactive planning year-round — not just tax prep in March. KDA Inc. is a full-service real estate tax advisory firm with licensed CPAs and EAs in Peoria who specialize exclusively in real estate investor tax strategy.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does Airbnb income get reported on my tax return?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The Schedule E vs. Schedule C question for Airbnb income depends on services provided and average stay length. Most Peoria Airbnb hosts report on Schedule E — which means no self-employment tax on profits, but passive activity rules apply to losses. The STR loophole converts those passive losses to active losses when you materially participate and average stay is ≤7 days. KDA’s team will review your Airbnb records, determine the correct reporting method, and maximize your deductions under either approach.”

}, {
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I handle mixed-use property (part personal, part rental) for tax purposes?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Mixed-use property creates both opportunities and complexity for Peoria investors. The rental portion of a mixed-use property generates depreciation, mortgage interest, and operating expense deductions. The personal portion generates only the standard home deductions. The key is proper allocation — typically based on square footage. For vacation homes with rental use, the 14-day rule determines whether the property is treated as a rental or a personal residence. KDA’s Peoria real estate CPA team will calculate the optimal allocation and ensure you’re maximizing deductions on the rental portion.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is an installment sale and when does it make sense for real estate?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Installment sales make the most sense when: (1) you can’t find a suitable 1031 replacement property; (2) you want to generate passive income from the sale proceeds; (3) spreading the gain over multiple years keeps you in lower tax brackets; or (4) you’re approaching retirement and want to match income recognition with your lower-income years. KDA’s Peoria real estate CPA team has structured installment sales for dozens of investors and will show you exactly how the tax math works for your specific property.”
}
}, {
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I handle rental income and expenses if I own property with a partner?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Co-ownership of Peoria rental properties creates both tax opportunities and complications. A partnership or LLC structure allows flexible allocation of income and losses among partners — potentially allocating more depreciation to the partner in the higher tax bracket. However, the allocation must have ‘substantial economic effect’ under IRS rules. KDA’s team will structure your partnership agreement to achieve the optimal tax allocation while meeting IRS requirements, and will prepare the annual partnership return and K-1s.”
}
}, {
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) and how do I qualify?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) is an IRS designation under IRC Section 469(c)(7) that allows qualifying investors to treat rental losses as non-passive — meaning they can offset any type of income, including W-2 wages and business income. To qualify, you must: (1) spend more than 750 hours per year in real property trades or businesses; AND (2) spend more than 50% of your total working time in real property activities. REPS is most powerful for investors with large rental portfolios or those who have done cost segregation studies generating large paper losses. KDA’s Peoria team will assess your eligibility and help you document your hours.”
