Navigating the complexities of real estate taxes while in the military requires expert guidance. We assist in maximizing deductions, leveraging 1031 exchanges, and optimizing depreciation schedules. 


  • The Military 10-Year Suspension Rule (Section 121 Exclusion):
  • Normally, to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples) in capital gains tax on the sale of a primary residence, you must live in the home for 2 out of the last 5 years.
  • Military Advantage: Under Section 121(d)(9), active-duty service members on qualified official extended duty can suspend the 5-year test for up to 10 years. This effectively gives military property owners up to 15 years to claim the full tax-free capital gains exclusion on a former primary home converted into a rental property.
  • PCS Property Conversions: Turning primary homes into long-term rentals during orders/relocations, managing multi-state passive rental income, and utilizing accelerated depreciation/cost segregation before returning or selling.
  • Tax-Deferred Growth: Planning around 1031 exchanges and strategic property disposition.
  • Active vs. Passive Real Estate Professional Status (REPS): Helping high-earning military spouses and investors unlock real estate tax losses against W-2 or active-duty/spouse income where applicable
  •  Cost Segregation : Accelerating your property deductions and boosting cash flow through targeted cost segregation studies, bonus depreciation, and optimized depreciation schedules
