This means that your accountant can report your exchange as a partial exchange and partial installment sale with proceeds received in 2025.

Not only that he gets stepped up basis and sell with no tax  double check that with accountant but I think that is correct.. then take the cash put it in 5% gov bonds for now then get up to speed and see what you really want to do. 

The other thing that has been a problem is that the accounting has been very disorganized.

Your accountant might have a preference.2.

You are paying them to do a job, I would let them do it and hold them accountable.

Remember that their success is your success, so be their accountability partner through being highly versed in the real estate investing arena yourself.

Did you tell the accountant that you were interest in owning a STR?

Didnt account for this in my due dilligence when purchasing.

Won’t be taking that route, is there any way to get the property manager accountable for voiding the roof warranty?

He needs to account for property appreciation, but overall needs to reduce property exposure.
