HeyRealEstateCPA is an educational resource of JH Group CPA, A Professional Corporation. The intro call confirms fit and scope; detailed calculations and advice require a paid engagement.
Bring the original closing statement, improvement history, depreciation schedules, loan payoff, and estimated sale costs. Compare the tax calculation with the cash you expect to have available for your next goal.
Prepare for a California rental sale and review depreciation questions.
Discuss the proposed sale and replacement purchase together, including financing, cash needs, ownership, and closing dates. Involve your qualified intermediary before closing; a CPA review does not replace the intermediary’s role.
Organize deeds, trust or estate documents, valuations, and the proposed ownership change. Ask separate questions about income-tax basis, property-tax reassessment, and legal title before signing documents.
Understand inherited-property basis and prepare for an LLC transfer review.
Confirm the property’s actual jurisdiction before estimating local transaction costs. A county location alone does not establish which city rules apply. The City of Los Angeles’s Measure ULA concerns qualifying transfers within the city; it should not be assumed to apply throughout Los Angeles County. Check the city’s current guidance with your escrow and tax advisers.
Official City of Los Angeles transfer-tax and Measure ULA guidance.
A qualifying ownership change or new construction can trigger reassessment and a supplemental property-tax bill. That review is separate from estimating income tax on a future sale. Gather the assessor’s parcel information and notices along with your purchase or inheritance records.

Two siblings inherit a rental and are considering a renovation followed by a sale. Before choosing a budget or dividing expected proceeds, they assemble the estate valuation, ownership documents, renovation estimates, and loan information. The review separates basis and sale-tax questions from reassessment and title questions, then identifies which items need the CPA, attorney, or assessor’s attention.
This is an illustrative scenario, not a client result or a recommendation. The appropriate analysis depends on the documents and facts.
