“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How can I use a self-directed IRA to invest in real estate?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Self-directed IRAs are a powerful vehicle for Spring Valley real estate investors who want to grow their retirement accounts through property ownership. A Roth SDIRA is especially powerful — all rental income and appreciation grow completely tax-free. The rules are strict: no personal use of the property, no transactions with disqualified persons (family members), and all property expenses must be paid from the IRA. KDA’s team will structure your SDIRA real estate investment correctly and ensure ongoing compliance.”

“name”: “How does the One Big Beautiful Bill Act affect real estate investors in 2026?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The OBBBA’s permanent 100% bonus depreciation is the biggest win for Spring Valley real estate investors in years. Previously, investors were racing to do cost segregation studies before bonus depreciation phased down. Now it’s permanent — you can take 100% first-year deductions on qualifying short-life assets indefinitely. Combined with the permanent QBI deduction and permanent TCJA rate structure, the OBBBA creates a stable, investor-friendly tax environment. KDA’s Spring Valley team will show you exactly how to deploy these provisions in your 2026 tax strategy.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is the tax treatment of real estate options?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “A real estate option gives the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to purchase property at a set price within a specified period. Tax treatment for the option buyer: the option premium paid is not immediately deductible — it becomes part of the property’s basis if the option is exercised, or a capital loss if the option expires. Tax treatment for the option seller: the premium received is not immediately taxable — it’s recognized as income when the option is exercised (as part of the sale proceeds) or when it expires (as ordinary income or capital gain depending on the seller’s status). KDA’s Spring Valley team will structure real estate option transactions for optimal tax treatment.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What records should I keep for my rental properties?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The IRS can audit real estate returns up to 3 years from filing (6 years if income is understated by 25%+). For Spring Valley investors, this means keeping all rental records for at least 7 years — and keeping depreciation records for the entire ownership period plus 7 years after sale. Digital record-keeping (cloud storage, accounting software) is strongly recommended. KDA’s Spring Valley team will set up a record-keeping system tailored to your portfolio and ensure you have everything needed to defend your tax positions.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does the $25,000 passive loss allowance work for rental property owners?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The $25,000 allowance is the ‘consolation prize’ passive loss rule for middle-income rental property owners. If your AGI is under $100,000 and you actively participate in your rental, you can deduct up to $25,000 in rental losses against your W-2 income. The allowance phases out at $50 cents per dollar of AGI between $100,000 and $150,000. For most Spring Valley investors earning above $150,000, this allowance is completely phased out — making REPS or the STR loophole the only paths to unlocking rental losses. KDA’s team will identify which strategy applies to your income level.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Can I do a cost segregation study on a property I’ve owned for years?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Absolutely. A look-back cost segregation study allows you to reclassify assets on properties you’ve already owned and take all the missed accelerated depreciation in the current tax year via Form 3115. There is no statute of limitations on this strategy. A Spring Valley investor who bought a $1M commercial property 8 years ago and never did a cost seg study could potentially generate $200,000–$400,000 in current-year deductions. KDA will run a free feasibility analysis to determine your look-back potential.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is the fix-and-flip tax treatment and how is it different from buy-and-hold?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Fix-and-flip properties are treated fundamentally differently from buy-and-hold rentals under the tax code. Flippers are classified as ‘dealers’ — the properties are inventory, not capital assets. This means: (1) profits are taxed as ordinary income (up to 37%), not capital gains (15–20%); (2) self-employment tax (15.3%) applies to net profits; (3) no 1031 exchange eligibility; (4) no depreciation deductions. The combined federal tax rate on flip profits can reach 52%+. KDA’s Spring Valley team structures flipping operations through S-Corps or LLCs to minimize self-employment tax and maximize deductions.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I handle real estate investments in a divorce?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “For Spring Valley real estate investors going through divorce, the tax-free transfer rule (IRC Section 1041) means property can be divided without immediate tax consequences. But the receiving spouse inherits the tax liability — the low basis, accumulated depreciation, and suspended passive losses all transfer with the property. A property that looks equal in value may be very unequal in after-tax value. KDA’s Spring Valley real estate CPA team will prepare a comprehensive after-tax analysis of all real estate assets to support equitable divorce negotiations.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is a Qualified Opportunity Zone investment and how does it compare to a 1031 exchange?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “A Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) investment allows you to defer capital gains from ANY asset sale (not just real estate) by investing the gain into a Qualified Opportunity Fund within 180 days. Unlike a 1031 exchange, you don’t need to reinvest the full proceeds — only the gain itself. If you hold the QOZ investment for 10+ years, all appreciation in the fund is completely tax-free. For Spring Valley investors with large capital gains from real estate sales, QOZ investments can be a powerful complement or alternative to a 1031 exchange. KDA’s team will compare both options for your specific situation.”
}
}, {
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is a 1031 exchange and how can a CPA help me use it?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The 1031 exchange is how the wealthiest real estate investors in Spring Valley build multi-generational wealth — by never paying capital gains tax during their lifetime. Every exchange defers the tax, and if you hold the replacement property until death, your heirs receive a stepped-up basis that eliminates the deferred gain entirely. KDA’s Spring Valley real estate CPA team has guided hundreds of exchanges and will ensure yours is structured to maximize deferral and minimize risk.”
