What we help with
Primary Residence
First-time buyers and move-up buyers — from offer strategy to closing and titling decisions that matter for your estate plan.
Rental & Income Property
Single-family, condo, and small multifamily acquisitions structured for long-term hold and cash flow.
Multifamily
Duplex through small apartment buildings — analysis, acquisition, and tenant strategy.
1031 Exchange Strategy
Defer capital-gains tax by exchanging an investment property for a like-kind replacement. We coordinate timing with your QI and CPA.
Titling & Entity Structure
How you take title matters — joint tenancy, trust, LLC. We coordinate with your estate plan so title supports the plan, not against it.
Generational Hand-Off
Pass property to the next generation while preserving favorable basis treatment where it's available.
Who this is for
- First-time buyers who want a property that fits a long-term legacy plan
- Families ready to acquire their first rental or vacation property
- Owners of appreciated investment property considering a 1031 exchange
- Parents who want to pass a family home to children without unnecessary tax exposure
- Investors building a small multifamily or rental portfolio
How we work
- 01
Goal & strategy
Cash flow, appreciation, primary residence, or 1031 replacement — the strategy drives the property, not the other way around.
- 02
Acquisition
Search, analysis, offers, and negotiation aligned with your underwriting, not the listing agent's.
- 03
Titling & structure
We coordinate with your estate plan so the property is held in the right entity from day one.
- 04
Long-term coordination
Refi opportunities, 1031 timing, and eventual transfer to heirs — handled as part of one ongoing plan.
Common questions
Should I hold rental property in an LLC or a trust?
Often both — an LLC for liability separation, owned by your revocable trust so it passes outside probate. The right answer depends on state, lender, and existing plan.
What's a 1031 exchange?
A tax provision letting you sell investment property and reinvest the proceeds into a like-kind property, deferring capital-gains tax. There are strict 45-day and 180-day deadlines.
Can I transfer my home to my children now to avoid probate?
Sometimes — but a lifetime gift transfers your cost basis to them, which can create a huge tax bill later. A trust transfer at death usually preserves stepped-up basis. Talk to us before doing this.
