WE KNOW PROPERTY

The tax is decided before the closing.

Real estate decisions are tax decisions: how you hold the property, how it's depreciated, and what happens when you sell. We help owners plan ahead and keep clean books for every property.

Our team includes a licensed Realtor, which helps when we work with investors and property businesses.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Answers before we get started.

Every situation is different. These are the questions owners ask us most.

Do you work with landlords who own a few rental properties?

Yes. We work with individual landlords, small portfolios and real estate businesses in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.

Can you help before I buy or sell a property?

That's the best time. We can estimate the tax on a sale, review depreciation recapture and talk through options like a 1031 exchange before you sign.

Should each property be in its own LLC?

Sometimes. It depends on liability, financing and how much administration you want. We'll go through the tax and bookkeeping side with you and your attorney.

NEXT STEP

Thinking about buying or selling?

Tell us where things stand and what you want fixed. We'll start with a short fit conversation, then a review of your books before anyone quotes a price.
