“@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 Inglewood 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.”

}, {
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is a ground lease and how is it taxed?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Ground leases offer Inglewood landowners a way to generate long-term passive income without selling appreciated land — avoiding capital gains tax while creating a perpetual income stream. The tax treatment is straightforward: ground lease payments are rental income, taxed at ordinary rates. The landowner retains the land (no depreciation, no capital gains trigger) and receives rent for decades. For developers, ground lease payments are deductible, and the improvements they build are depreciable. KDA’s team will structure ground lease arrangements to optimize the tax position for both parties.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does the step-up in basis at death work for real estate investors?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The step-up in basis at death is why real estate is the most powerful intergenerational wealth transfer vehicle available. Every dollar of deferred capital gains and depreciation recapture disappears when the property passes to heirs at a stepped-up basis. For Inglewood investors building a long-term portfolio, the optimal strategy is often: (1) use 1031 exchanges to defer taxes during your lifetime; (2) hold the final property until death; (3) heirs inherit at stepped-up basis with zero tax liability. KDA’s team will model this strategy alongside your estate plan.”

“@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 Inglewood 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.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does the tax treatment differ for a REIT vs. direct real estate ownership?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “REITs and direct real estate ownership offer different tax profiles for Inglewood investors. Direct ownership: depreciation deductions offset rental income (often creating paper losses despite positive cash flow); capital gains taxed at 15–20% on sale; 1031 exchanges available; full control over tax strategy. REITs: dividends are taxed as ordinary income (up to 37%) unless they qualify for the 20% QBI deduction; no depreciation benefit to individual investors; no 1031 exchange eligibility; highly liquid. For tax optimization, direct ownership is almost always superior to REITs for investors who can manage the complexity. KDA’s team will model the after-tax comparison for your situation.”

“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 Inglewood 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”: “What is a charitable remainder trust (CRT) and how can it help real estate investors?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “For Inglewood investors with highly appreciated real estate and charitable intent, a CRT combines tax deferral, income generation, and philanthropy. You contribute the property to the CRT, receive an income stream for 20+ years, take a partial charitable deduction, and avoid immediate capital gains tax. The trust sells the property tax-free and invests the proceeds. This strategy works best for investors who don’t need the full sale proceeds immediately and have charitable goals. KDA’s real estate CPA team will evaluate whether a CRT makes sense for your situation.”

}, {
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I calculate my basis in a rental property?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Calculating basis for a Inglewood rental property requires tracking several components: (1) original purchase price plus closing costs; (2) plus capital improvements over the ownership period; (3) minus accumulated depreciation (including cost segregation deductions); (4) minus any casualty losses claimed. The resulting ‘adjusted basis’ determines your taxable gain when you sell. Many investors underestimate their accumulated depreciation, leading to surprise tax bills at sale. KDA’s team maintains detailed basis schedules and models your gain exposure annually.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What expenses can I deduct for my Airbnb or short-term rental property?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The deduction list for a Inglewood STR is extensive: platform fees (Airbnb/VRBO typically charges 3%), cleaning fees you pay, all utilities, internet, cable, furnishings (100% bonus depreciation in 2026), appliances, maintenance and repairs, property management, insurance, mortgage interest, property taxes, depreciation on the building, and a cost segregation study to accelerate depreciation on building components. If you have a home office for managing your STR, that’s deductible too. KDA’s team will conduct a full deduction audit to ensure you’re capturing everything.”
