“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is an installment sale and when does it make sense for real estate?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “An installment sale allows you to receive the purchase price over multiple years and pay capital gains tax only as you receive payments, rather than all in year one. This spreads your tax liability over time and can keep you in lower tax brackets each year. Installment sales work best when you have a willing buyer who doesn’t need full cash at closing, and when you want to spread gains across multiple tax years. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt team will model the installment sale option alongside 1031 exchanges and QOZ investments to find the optimal exit strategy for your situation.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Does Arizona have any special tax incentives for real estate investors?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Arizona offers several tax advantages for real estate investors: (1) flat 2.5% income tax rate — one of the lowest in the nation; (2) no estate tax or inheritance tax; (3) Qualified Opportunity Zones in designated areas of Dewey-Humboldt and surrounding communities; (4) property tax rates that are generally lower than California’s (despite no Prop 13 cap); and (5) no tax on Social Security income. For real estate investors relocating from high-tax states, Arizona’s combination of low income tax, no estate tax, and business-friendly environment makes it one of the most attractive states in the country. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt team will quantify your Arizona tax advantage.”

“@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 Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) and how does it work in a 1031 exchange?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a passive real estate investment structure that qualifies as like-kind property for 1031 exchange purposes. DSTs allow investors to exchange out of an active rental property and into a fractional ownership interest in institutional-grade real estate (apartment complexes, medical offices, industrial facilities) without the management responsibilities. For Dewey-Humboldt investors who want to defer taxes but exit active management, a DST 1031 exchange is an ideal solution. KDA’s team will explain the DST options available and their tax implications.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What credentials should I look for in a real estate CPA?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Look for a CPA license (Certified Public Accountant) or EA designation (Enrolled Agent), combined with demonstrated specialization in real estate tax. Ask how many of their clients are real estate investors, whether they own investment properties themselves, and whether they can explain cost segregation, REPS, and 1031 exchanges fluently. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt team checks every box — licensed, specialized, and deeply experienced in real estate tax strategy.”

“@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 Dewey-Humboldt 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 can I minimize taxes when I sell my rental property outright?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Selling a Dewey-Humboldt rental property outright triggers capital gains tax (15–20% federal + state) and depreciation recapture (25% federal + state). To minimize the tax hit: (1) confirm your adjusted basis is maximized (all improvements documented); (2) release suspended passive losses to offset the gain; (3) time the sale to coincide with a low-income year; (4) consider an installment sale to spread the gain; (5) offset with capital losses from other assets. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt team will model your exact tax liability and identify every available mitigation strategy before you sell.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I pay my children through my real estate business to shift income?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Income shifting to children through your real estate business is a legitimate tax strategy when done correctly. Your child must perform real, documented work — property management tasks, administrative work, photography, social media management for your rentals. Pay must be reasonable for the work performed. For children under 18 in a sole proprietorship or disregarded LLC, wages are exempt from FICA tax — saving you 15.3% on top of the income tax rate differential. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt team will document the arrangement properly to withstand IRS scrutiny.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is Arizona’s Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) and how does it affect rental property owners?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Arizona’s Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) is a state tax on the privilege of doing business in Arizona — it applies to commercial rental income and short-term residential rentals (under 30 days). Long-term residential rentals (30+ days) are generally exempt from TPT at the state level, though some cities impose their own rental taxes. For Dewey-Humboldt short-term rental owners (Airbnb/VRBO), TPT compliance is mandatory — you must register with the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) and remit TPT on your rental income. KDA’s Dewey-Humboldt team handles TPT registration and compliance for STR owners.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does estate planning interact with real estate investing?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The stepped-up basis rule is the most powerful estate planning tool for Dewey-Humboldt real estate investors. When you die holding appreciated real estate, your heirs inherit the property at its current fair market value — all accumulated capital gains and depreciation recapture disappear. A property purchased for $200,000 and worth $2M at death transfers to heirs with a $2M basis, not a $200,000 basis. Combined with a 1031 exchange strategy (defer gains throughout your lifetime, die holding the property), you can build enormous real estate wealth with zero capital gains tax ever paid. KDA’s team will design your estate plan around this strategy.”
