Does KDA Inc. handle 1031 exchanges for real estate investors?
Yes. KDA Inc. has guided clients through 1031 like-kind exchanges since 1993, helping them defer capital gains taxes and reinvest into higher-value properties. We coordinate with qualified intermediaries and ensure full IRS compliance.
What is cost segregation and how can it reduce my tax bill?
Cost segregation is an IRS-approved strategy that reclassifies building components (fixtures, land improvements, personal property) to shorter depreciation schedules — typically 5, 7, or 15 years instead of 27.5 or 39 years. KDA Inc. performs cost segregation studies that routinely generate $50,000–$500,000+ in accelerated deductions for real estate investors.
Can KDA Inc. help me qualify as a Real Estate Professional for tax purposes?
Yes. Qualifying as a Real Estate Professional (REP) under IRC §469 allows you to deduct rental losses against ordinary income with no passive activity limitation. KDA Inc. helps clients document the required 750+ hours and material participation tests to unlock this powerful status.
How does KDA Inc. structure real estate entities to minimize taxes?
KDA Inc. analyzes each client’s portfolio to recommend the optimal entity structure — LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, or a combination — to minimize self-employment tax, maximize deductions, and protect assets. We also advise on Series LLC structures for multi-property investors.
