Every property we acquire going forward will have to be carefully analyzed  to see how much we want to maximize the depreciation and risk the FFE "loss" on a 1031.Let's say the case law established what many deem to be true about personal property (1245) even within real property,  no longer 'exchangeable" through 1031, here’s a great way to get around out it (courtesy of the director of our 1031 department):If you do cost segregation, thereby identifying personal property, you can no longer 1031 that property, BUT, that 5 year property is not taxed as capital gains, rather regular income tax rates on the depreciation recapture…(still following)Potentially up to 20-30% of the value of your property, that’s a lot!

Good morning BP,I'm currently exploring the idea of getting my real estate license in the state of Maryland and I have a couple of questions regarding the license that I am hoping to have answered by knowledgeable forum members.
