A $4 million building. A $5 million sale. A $6 million replacement. Everyone says: exchange it. In our model, that came third out of four. Exchange under the default rules. Exchange with the election out. Study first, then exchange. Or sell outright. Here's the catch. For a used replacement building, generally only the new money qualifies for bonus depreciation. Exchange, and that's about $240,000. Sell, and it's $1.44 million. Now, the step almost nobody takes. His old building was never studied. A catch-up study can surface deductions he may have been entitled to all along. About $714,000. Roughly $264,000 in tax value, in the exchange year. Then he still exchanges. 10-year hold, 8% example return: study first, then exchange, is the best result we modeled. About $63,000 ahead of the next-best path, in today's dollars, before the cost of the study. A timing win. It's about when the tax gets paid. Change the facts, and the answer can change. A shorter hold can favor the default exchange. Trapped passive losses, or a small gain, can favor selling outright. It's an illustration, not a promise. Check it with your CPA. We do the math.

Before we talk
A few useful answers.
What does JPOPE Tax Consultancy do?
JPOPE provides specialty tax services across depreciation and basis, credits and incentives, valuation and appeals, transaction planning, portfolio planning, and advisor collaboration. The right service depends on the taxpayer, property, timing, and existing advisor team.
When should an owner bring JPOPE into a property decision?
The best window is before closing, construction, renovation, return filing, assessment appeal deadlines, or sale terms become harder to change, because more tax planning options are usually still available.
What is the first step with JPOPE?
Start with your decision, timing, and advisor team. A fit review identifies the relevant specialty tax service and next records to review; no single service is the default.
