What property decision are you facing?
Selling a rental property
Before deciding what to do with the proceeds, organize the purchase history, improvements, depreciation records, estimated selling costs, and loan payoff. Bring your expected sale timing and your next use for the money into the discussion.
Are you comparing a sale with a possible 1031 exchange, or considering another rental? Discuss your cash needs, financing, ownership, and transaction schedule together. An exchange is a planning question to evaluate—not an automatic recommendation.
A property decision may involve more than one person or goal. Identify the current owners, loans, family plans, and documents involved. Tax questions may need to be coordinated with your attorney, lender, or other professionals.
You may live in Orange County, own a rental here, or manage property elsewhere while based here. Tell us where you live, where the property is located, and who owns it so the discussion starts with the right facts.
For a property purchase or sale, share the expected transaction date and the people already involved, such as your broker, lender, attorney, or exchange intermediary. For an ownership change, start with the proposed change and the reason behind it.

Five questions to connect before you act
Question
What to prepare
Tax
Prior returns and the property's purchase, improvement, and depreciation history
Debt
Current loans, estimated payoff, and any proposed financing
Cash flow
Cash needed for the transaction and for your next goal
Ownership
Current owners, entities, and any planned changes
Timing
Expected closing dates and other commitments
For example, an owner considering a rental sale may also need money for another purchase. A useful discussion considers the proposed sale, loan payoff, cash needed, and next purchase together. This is a planning example, not a recommendation or projected result.
How to get started
Describe the decision. Tell us what you are considering, where the property is, and your expected timing. Keep the first message brief and non-confidential.
Confirm fit and scope. The intro call helps determine whether a paid review is appropriate and what information it would require.
Agree on the engagement. Scope, fees, and responsibilities are confirmed before detailed work begins. Use the firm's secure process for sensitive records.
Proceed with the agreed review. Analysis and any coordination with other professionals depend on the engagement and your facts.
You do not need to upload records to make an initial inquiry. Have these details ready:
The decision you are considering and your expected timing.
The property's location and general use.
Whether you own it individually, with others, or through an entity.
Whether a broker, lender, attorney, or exchange intermediary is involved.
Whether purchase, improvement, loan, and prior tax records are available.
Do not send Social Security numbers, tax returns, account numbers, or other confidential records through a public form or ordinary email. Ask the firm for secure document instructions.
