I have the same issue, I have been CPA for a while but now(thanks to RE investing) I sold my practice and pursuing construction/RE full time. 

My CPA told me I could either suck it up and pay the tax from selling my active portfolio or do a "Lazy 1031". 

@Joseph HenryDefinitely suggest getting familiar with Section 121 from your CPA.

Work with an attorney or CPA for tax-efficient entity structuring.2.

I have a good job as a corporate CPA, I’m not looking to leave that to go full time necessarily, more looking to build toward an early retirement in 15 years (dream scenario). 

Hello everyone,My Canadian company owns a residential property in California and I want to sell it to my own personal name as I am closing my company.I don't know which professional to consult to help me do the transfer besides my CPA.Can I do the transfer of the deed myself (going to the County Recorder’s Office) and just check with my CPA for taxes due?

- We are going to start searching for a CPA with a lot of experience in STRs, but haven’t found one yet.

Rashim,My advice would be to reach out to a CPA and they give you a complete run down on taxes.

I am a CPA who focuses on bookkeeping and financial accounting for real estate investors.

Using an attorney, CPA or a 3rd party as agent is smarter.2) Having an Operating Agreement---Without one, you don't have a viable LLC and highly likely a judge will set it aside.3) Buying a property in your name to get a FNMA/FHA/VA mortgage, then transferring the property to an LLC via QCD.
