The Return of 100% Bonus - OBBBA w/ Sean Graham

With recent developments in tax law, I couldn’t help but hop on a call with the man, the myth, and the legend - Sean Graham. This is so relevant that it earned a temporary spot on my website home page.

What is Bonus Depreciation and What is New?

Yes… These are my morning thoughts…

Who Do I Help?

Anyone from experienced operators/syndicators with complex capital structures to individual investors just getting started out.
I offer white glove service to large operators and family offices with established real estate holdings (typically >$25M AUM),
I help newer operators/syndicators who are used to simple JVs who need guidance as they branch into private-equity-style capital structures and funds.
Are you just starting out?
- Great! Though I normally advise on larger operations, I help beginners too, so it doesn’t hurt to reach out.

What Do I Do?

I’m glad you asked.

I mainly do the following:

Proactively advise real estate operators looking for tax efficiency,
Work with sophisticated property managers and internal accounting teams to build out asset management level accounting for robust real estate businesses.
Creatively structure syndications, funds, and complex partnerships/JVs to achieve total tax optimization,
Serve as a second set of eyes for syndication and real estate attorneys tasked with drafting LPA, LLCA, OA, PPM, etc.,
Pick up the phone when my clients are at the closing table and need help putting out last-minute fires,
And last but not least, I spend January through March 15th preparing thousands of K-1s for my clients’ investors.

About Me.

I aspire to live in a van down by the river. Except the van has Starlink… and dual monitors ready to send K-1s from Moab, UT. Who said van life wasn’t for CPAs?

If you are looking for suit and tie, grey hair and a fax number, you won’t find that here. I am younger than the tax code I advise on, and I was in diapers when your last CPA was being promoted to partner at the firm that they sold their soul to for a few hundred grand a year.

^^Obligatory Headshot.

Read my previous posts on **LinkedIn** to benefit from some free tax knowledge and to get a sense of the problems I solve for clients.

I run a solo practice, however I have spent the last two years optimizing my systems to operate at the same level as a firm with several employees using proprietary applications and automations.

My expertise is in all aspects of real estate taxation including maximizing depreciation and CapEx expense, partnership taxation, waterfall / PE-style economics, complex real estate transactions (1031x, 721, TIC, OZ, Funds, etc.), and tax-efficient GP fee/carry structuring.
