E-mailAdvise RE provides real estate construction advisory for property owners and developers, drawing on its founder's experience developing more than 50 multifamily units in Los Angeles.
Founder Stephen Morris, CPA, MBT, CCIM, brings experience as a property owner, developer, and licensed real estate broker. Advise RE Developers holds a California general contractor license, CSLB #1142184.
That background shapes the firm's approach to advising owners before construction begins, during the build, and as properties enter service or prepare for sale.
Evaluating Projects Before Owners Commit
Construction advisory services begin with the decisions that shape a project's economics. Advise RE reviews feasibility assumptions, construction budgets, financing structure, and projected carrying costs.
The service helps owners assess whether a project's numbers account for realistic rents, construction schedules, and potential delays. It serves first-time developers, owners adding units or ADUs, and investors renovating or converting existing buildings.
Connecting Construction Costs With Tax Planning
During construction, Advise RE helps owners organize project costs and understand their tax treatment. The work includes capitalization planning and cost tracking that supports lender reporting and tax preparation.
As a project approaches completion, the firm advises on placed-in-service timing and the tax implications of holding or selling the property. Dealer-versus-investor treatment is part of that planning.
Advice From the Owner's Side
Advise RE's construction accounting advisory supports the owner's decisions. It does not replace the project's general contractor.
The firm reviews the financial and tax implications of budgets, schedules, and change orders. Attorneys remain responsible for legal advice and contract terms.
Owners can describe their project and learn more through the inquiry form. The team reviews inquiries before arranging an initial conversation.
