CLOSELY HELD + FAMILY BUSINESS
Real Estate It's been an especially volatile time in a sector that's known for its booms and busts. During the last few years, you've faced a steep decline in valuations, weak demand, foreclosures and bankruptcies, and a crisis in financing and access to working capital. For many investors and operating companies, it's been difficult to weather the storm. Nevertheless, there are opportunities for those who know where to find them, and coping strategies to help ride out the downturns. As CPAs and trusted advisors with expertise in all things real estate, we provide the savvy advice that can mean the difference between a successful investment and a disappointing one. You may benefit from guidance in restructuring existing debt to enhance your cash flow, for example. A cost segregation study may reduce your taxes by accelerating depreciation deductions, at least in the early years of ownership. Or maybe you've accumulated losses or qualify for various real estate credits that can also reduce your taxes and preserve cash. Looking forward, you can minimize taxes and financial risks by selecting the right entity or investment vehicle at the outset. And, by strategically analyzing the potential economic and tax consequences of various purchases, sales, development strategies and like-kind exchanges, you can help to maximize value. Over the longer term, you can even minimize future estate taxes on your real estate investments—perhaps with grantor-retained annuity trusts (GRATs), installment sales or fractional interests, to name a few. But to effectively leverage such strategies, you need advisors who are committed to your success over the short and long term. At Bader Martin, we can prepare your annual financial statements and tax returns—and frankly, so can a number of other leading CPA firms. But here, we believe we also have an obligation to provide you with the proactive, practical advice that creates value for you throughout the year.
