Congratulations.

You'll have to find someone who understands tax accounting, a bookkeeper/accountant/tax attorney, and just sit down and run through the numbers.  As you do, take notes, and I suggest that before you do another investment, have a plan for dealing with the taxation.

In every deal I have ever done, taxation was one of the three or four decision factors for buying, selling, holding, etc.  It can represent 30% of your bottom line.  You need to pro forma the tax situation before you even buy.  You can make money without knowing the tax situation.  But you can make a lot more money by understanding the tax aspect.

Good luck!
