Jeffrey Rasch What tax classification should I use for my multi-member LLC?

Suspended LTR depreciation/losses often aren’t lost, they can carry forward and may be released when you sell, so the “can’t use it” point may be overstated.Real estate sale taxes aren’t just 15–20% LTCG: depreciation recapture, possible 3.8% NIIT, and state tax can raise the effective rate.A 1031 has strict deadlines (45 days identify / 180 days close); if you need more time, consider reverse 1031 or a more passive “parking” option like DSTs.STRs can potentially offset W-2 income, but it’s more complex than “100 hours”—material participation rules and documentation matter.Cost segregation can be powerful but only if the deal supports it; it accelerates depreciation and can affect future recapture.Consolidating into fewer properties can reduce operational risk, but watch market/regulatory/insurance volatility.Best next step: compare hold vs sell taxable vs 1031 with full tax/return components (recapture, NIIT, suspended losses, timing risk).Always consult with a CPA who specializes in real estate.
