Real estate specialty

From purchase to sale, real estate tax planning should be part of the deal strategy.

Real estate creates tax complexity quickly: depreciation, passive activity rules, entity ownership, debt, foreign sellers, withholding, and exit planning. DLC&CO helps clients organize the structure and reporting before the transaction becomes expensive to fix.
