Send us Fan MailWe break down how certain convenience store and gas station real estate investments can produce a massive first-year tax deduction using 100% bonus depreciation and fund-level leverage. We also map out who can use the losses, what returns can look like, and how to plan for depreciation recapture with smart exit options like DSTs and 1031 exchanges. • how C-stores can qualify for 100% bonus depreciation when gasoline revenue meets the threshold • why leverage inside the fund can turn $100,000 of equity into a much larger K-1 tax loss • how rental losses can offset passive real estate income and other passive income streams • when Real Estate Professional Status can open up active income and portfolio income planning • how failed 1031 exchanges and boot can be partially neutralized with the right loss strategy • what to expect in years two through exit, including projected hold periods and cash-on-cash returns • how depreciation recapture works and why rolling into a DST can help manage the tax hit • why DSTs can make sense for passive investors, debt replacement, and diversification by hold period The way to get a hold of me is first my email is Larry at 1031financial.com.

In this Swift Chat conversation, Marie Swift speaks with Stacy Chitty of Blue Vault and Henry Zelikovsky of Softlab360 to discuss how better data and modern technology are transforming the way financial advisors and asset managers evaluate alternative investments. The conversation explores Blue Vault's new research portal, built to bring greater transparency, usability, and depth to alternative investment data. With a Snowflake-backed data infrastructure and standardized performance metrics, the portal helps users analyze and compare offerings across non-traded REITs, BDCs, interval funds, tender offer funds, DSTs, and more. Chitty shares his thoughts on why the market needed a better way to access alternative investment research and how Blue Vault has been collecting and vetting performance-based data since 2009. He emphasizes that the portal makes it easier to access standardized performance metrics, compare offerings, and evaluate risk, leverage, distributions, and other details that matter when assessing alternative investments. Zelikovsky highlights how Softlab360 helped build the portal's underlying technology and data architecture to support more flexible, scalable, and granular analysis. He sees the portal as a foundation for future capabilities like comparative analysis and more interactive, conversational ways to work with the data.

Senior Vice President Matt McFarland discusses how Delaware Statutary Trusts (DSTs) can be used as a backup option in a 1031 exchange. Learn why many investors consider DSTs when facing exchange deadlines, identification challenges, or replacement property issues.
Can investors use 1031 exchange proceeds to invest in real estate syndications? The answer is yes, but it's not nearly as simple as many sponsors hope. In this episode of the Major League Real Estate Podcast, Nate Sosa and Thomas Castelli break down the most common structures used to bring 1031 exchange capital into syndications, including Tenants in Common (TIC) arrangements, Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), and 721 Exchange/UPREIT structures. They discuss why 1031 investors are increasingly looking for passive investment options, the challenges syndicators face when accepting exchange capital, and the operational, legal, and tax considerations that come with each strategy.

This episode exposes the misleading language behind “best interest” financial sales practices, using the insurance-backed fight against the Department of Labor's fiduciary rule as the main example. Don and Tom explain why rolling money from a 401(k) or 403(b) into an IRA can leave investors vulnerable to commissions, conflicts, vague disclosures, and expensive products dressed up as advice. They break down the difference between true fiduciary advice, so-called best-interest standards, and bare-minimum suitability, then answer listener questions on pension-heavy asset allocation, Delaware Statutory Trusts, and why some seemingly clever planning ideas are often more trouble than they're worth.0:00 “Federation of Americans for Consumer Choice” irony and setup0:52 Fiduciary rule battle with the Department of Labor (and why it keeps dying)1:43 Who's really behind the “consumer choice” push (insurance industry)2:41 Why retirement rollovers (401k → IRA) are the financial “wild west”3:13 $841B rollover stat and loss of ERISA protections4:34 Who actually operates under a true fiduciary standard5:14 Why rollovers require serious skepticism (fees, conflicts, hidden costs)6:10 Form BI and the illusion of “best interest”7:09 Insurance “best interest” rules and the loophole problem8:23 Disclosure theater: legal cover vs real transparency9:40 What a fiduciary does NOT guarantee (returns, cost, communication)10:47 Why even fiduciaries can be expensive10:58 The three standards explained: fiduciary vs best interest vs suitability12:02 “It's not terrible” — the low bar of suitability13:03 Advice vs sales pitch: how most investors get fooled13:38 Listener case: pension-heavy early retirement plan17:18 Pension as “bond substitute” debate19:08 Portfolio breakdown and fund choices (Vanguard, Avantis)20:55 Simplicity vs complexity across multiple accounts21:58 Risk reduction suggestion despite strong financial position24:13 Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs): tax deferral vs massive fees25:59 DST downsides: illiquidity, lack of control, high commissions26:29 Bottom line on DSTs: “pay your taxes and move on”27:12 Listener suggestion: “Can I afford it?” segment27:50 Why personalized affordability segments are impractical29:37 Show longevity discussion and future timeline31:11 Financial Physics book plug (Kindle version now available)Questions?

At some point, every real estate investor has to ask a hard question: Is this property still working for me, or am I just holding it out of habit? In this episode, Dan Ihara, a national real estate planner with more than 400 completed 1031 exchanges and over $110M in deferred capital gains, joins Brian Hamrick to talk about how investors should evaluate aging properties, declining returns, and next-stage portfolio decisions. Dan specializes in helping investors recognize when an asset has quietly stopped performing and how tools like Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) can be used to transition into truly passive, tax-efficient ownership—without emotional or rushed decisions. What we cover: How to tell when a property has become dead capital Why many long-held assets produce 0–2% cap rates without owners realizing it How rising taxes, insurance, and expenses quietly erode returns Why most investors don't actually know their current cap rate The difference between appreciation and real performance How DSTs work in practice as a 1031 replacement property Who DSTs are designed for—and who they are not Passive income vs active ownership late in an investor's career How step-up in basis can eliminate capital gains for heirs The role of 721 UPREIT conversions and long-term planning Why real estate causes family conflict after death How pre-inheritance planning can prevent disputes Why real estate planning is about clarity, not control This episode is especially relevant for investors who are: Over 50 and thinking about simplification Tired of active management but hesitant to sell Concerned about capital gains taxes Focused on wealth preservation and family harmony, not just growth Resources Mentioned: Book: Property Decisions: Avoiding Family Disputes and Painful Taxes to Create a Legacy That Lasts by Dan Ihara Available on Amazon (ebook and paperback) Today's episode is brought to you by Green Property Management, managing everything from single family homes to apartment complexes in the West Michigan area. https://www.livegreenlocal.com And RCB & Associates, helping Michigan-based real estate investors and small business owners navigate the complex world of health insurance and medicare benefits. https://www.rcbassociatesllc.com
Kay Properties & Investments Senior Vice President Matt McFarland and Vice President Tim Emanuel discuss the key differences between Traditional DSTs and 721 UPREIT DSTs
If you sell an investment property and want to defer taxes, a 1031 exchange is usually the answer.But there's a problem no one likes to talk about:You only have 45 days to identify a replacement property.That pressure often leads investors to overpay, settle for deals they don't love, or rush into more active management when they were actually trying to slow down.In this episode of Commercially Speaking, we sit down with Taylor Ashland, founder of Ashland Pacific, to explore Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) as a 1031-eligible alternative.DSTs allow investors to:Defer capital gains and depreciation recapture taxesInvest passively in institutional-quality real estateAvoid the 45-day scramble to identify a propertyEliminate active management and tenant headachesWe break down:How DSTs actually work inside a 1031 exchangeWhy the 45-day window creates bad incentivesWhen a DST makes sense (and when it doesn't)Loss of control, lack of liquidity, and real risksHow DSTs can be a full exit strategy or a “supporting actor”Why brokers don't get paid on DSTs (and why that matters)The emotional side of money, taxes, and decision-makingThis episode is not tax or legal advice. It's a practical, honest conversation about options most investors don't hear until it's too late.Thanks To Our Sponsors

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Pat Brown, an International Tax Partner in PwC's Washington National Tax Services practice and Co-leader of the National Tax Office. Pat previously served as GE's VP of Tax and Director of Tax Policy. Doug and Pat discuss highlights from 2025: the US day-one Pillar Two executive order and the OECD's late-year side-by-side package; Section 899; the shifting of DSTs into the trade lane; and the expanding role of the UN for global tax policy. On US policy, they also unpack how OBBBA yielded greater stability; CAMT corrections; stock buyback excise tax guidance; and long-awaited Section 987 rules. Looking ahead to 2026, they assess the potential for additional US tax legislation under reconciliation, as well as the future of Pillar Two, its complexity, and how QDMTTs are now the backbone of Pillar Two.

What if you could build wealth through real estate… without paying taxes along the way? In this episode, Michael Blank welcomes Louis Rogers, founder of Capital Square and pioneer of the tenants-in-common model still widely referenced today. Lewis breaks down the simplicity of 1031 exchanges, why DSTs have replaced TICs, and how investors can eventually move into a REIT structure to enjoy completely passive investing — while still deferring taxes. If you want to learn how the wealthy use the tax code to accelerate their net worth, this episode is a must-listen.Key Takeaways: 1031 exchanges are simpler than most people think — and typically cost about $1,000 using a qualified intermediary. The old tenants-in-common (TIC) structure is obsolete — DSTs are now the preferred option for 1031 investors. Investors can move from active ownership → DSTs → UPREIT, getting more passive over time. Tax deferral can continue for life — with a step-up in basis eliminating capital gains upon inheritance. The U.S. tax code is uniquely favorable to real estate — wealthy families use it strategically. Paying taxes is a choice: learn the rules and keep more of your money working for you.Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael Blank For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session499/

Selling real estate comes with a few well-known options, but none of them are perfect. Take the 1031 exchange: you have just 45 days to identify a property and 180 days to close. The financing has to line up, and you're stuck with contingencies that can cut your buyer pool in half. No wonder 60% of 1031 exchanges end up paying some or all the taxes anyway. Your next option? Just pay the tax. Depending on your state, that could mean losing 30% or more of your sale proceeds—money that's gone forever. Another option often promoted is the DST. Sounds good on the surface, but when you peel back the layers, you'll find heavy commissions—sometimes 12 to 16%—and steep fees. Add in strict rules on how you can exit, and in the end, the net return to you is often only about 5%. That just doesn't work for most investors. And while there are plenty of other programs being pitched, most don't pass the IRS's three required tests for tax deferral. At Q companies, they've done the due diligence—almost all of them fail at least one, and many fail all three. In an audit, that means you lose. But there is a simpler way. And the IRS already recognizes and even provides a publication for—Publication 537. It's called an Installment Sale Trust (IST). The documents to set it up are straightforward, about 11 pages, and it's direct, easy, and more critical, it's compliant. That's why we're hosting a Virtual Financial Summit. We'll walk you through all of these options—the 1031 exchange, paying the tax, DSTs, and others—so you can see the benefits and drawbacks for yourself. Most importantly, we'll show you how the IST can help you potentially reach a zero-tax bracket. Comment ZERO TAX to learn how to better manage your real estate investments.

This Day in Legal History: October ManifestoOn October 30, 1905, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia issued the October Manifesto in response to mounting unrest and revolutionary fervor sweeping the Russian Empire. The 1905 Revolution had erupted earlier that year following the Bloody Sunday massacre, in which unarmed protesters were gunned down by imperial guards. Strikes, peasant revolts, and mutinies within the military and navy intensified public pressure for reform. The October Manifesto promised several liberalizing measures: the creation of a legislative Duma (parliament), expansion of civil liberties including freedom of speech, assembly, and conscience, and a commitment that no law would be enacted without the Duma's consent.Though revolutionary factions remained skeptical, the manifesto temporarily quelled widespread unrest and led to the formation of Russia's first constitutional structure. It marked the first time autocratic power in Russia was publicly limited by law, at least in theory. However, the tsarist regime maintained significant control: Nicholas retained the right to dissolve the Duma at will and manipulate election laws. Conservative forces viewed the manifesto as a concession made under duress, while radicals criticized it as too limited and unenforceable.The October Manifesto also split opposition forces. Some liberals, known as Octobrists, supported working within the new constitutional framework. Others, including the Bolsheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries, dismissed the document as a façade and continued to push for broader revolution. In legal terms, the manifesto introduced the concept of legislative consent into Russian governance, establishing a precedent for popular representation in lawmaking. Although the Duma's actual power remained constrained, the October Manifesto set the stage for future political conflicts that would culminate in the Russian Revolutions of 1917.The Trump administration's recent approvals for oil and gas leasing in Alaska and road development projects are drawing scrutiny from environmental groups, who say the decisions were made opaquely during a government shutdown, limiting their ability to challenge them in court. These projects include reopening leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), issuing permits for the 211-mile Ambler Road to mining sites, and approving a controversial land exchange to allow road construction through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge wilderness. Environmental attorneys argue that key documents and analyses justifying these decisions remain unavailable, complicating legal strategies.The Interior Department, operating with a reduced staff, has only offered links to decision documents, providing little insight into environmental protections or regulatory compliance. Although these projects have been previously contested in court, the lack of transparency surrounding the latest approvals hinders further action. Some legal experts suggest potential conflicts of interest—such as the U.S. acquiring a stake in a company tied to the Ambler Road—could be grounds for future lawsuits. Additionally, the Izembek land swap may face legal challenges for bypassing required congressional approval.Environmental Groups Challenged in Fighting Trump's Alaska MovesThree former Morgan Stanley financial advisers are suing the U.S. Department of Labor over a recent advisory opinion that they argue unlawfully shields the bank from arbitration claims related to unpaid deferred compensation. Filed in Manhattan federal court, the lawsuit alleges that the Labor Department's September 9 finding—that Morgan Stanley's deferred compensation plan does not qualify as an employee benefit pension plan under ERISA—conflicts with two prior court rulings that said it does.The plaintiffs, Steve Sheresky, Jeffrey Samsen, and Nicholas Sutro, say the opinion was “arbitrary and capricious” and would undermine their efforts, and those of other former employees, to arbitrate claims over canceled or unpaid compensation. They also claim Morgan Stanley is already using the Labor Department's stance to dismiss ongoing claims and seek reimbursement of legal costs.Though Morgan Stanley is not a defendant in the suit, the plaintiffs argue the agency overstepped its authority and are asking the court to revoke the advisory opinion under the Administrative Procedure Act. The case, Sheresky et al v. U.S. Department of Labor, raises broader questions about administrative agencies issuing legal interpretations that can influence private litigation outcomes without proper judicial or legislative review.Former Morgan Stanley advisers sue US Labor Department | ReutersEli Lilly has announced a new partnership with Walmart to offer its weight-loss drug Zepbound at discounted, direct-to-consumer prices through Walmart pharmacies nationwide. This marks the first time customers using the LillyDirect platform can pick up the medication in person at a retail location. The lowest dose of Zepbound will be available for $349 per month for self-paying patients.The move is part of Lilly's broader strategy to expand access and boost market share in the competitive obesity drug space, currently valued at around $150 billion. Zepbound competes directly with Novo Nordisk's Wegovy, but recent data suggests Lilly has pulled ahead in prescriptions, despite Novo's earlier market entry.Lilly reported that around 35% of Zepbound prescriptions in Q2 came from cash-paying customers using LillyDirect. Both Lilly and Novo have also made their weight-loss drugs available through various telehealth platforms, further expanding patient access.Lilly, Walmart launch first retail pick-up option for weight-loss drug | ReutersA piece I wrote for Forbes earlier this week looks at the escalating tensions surrounding digital services taxes (DSTs), with France once again moving to raise its DST—from 3% to 15%—primarily targeting U.S. tech giants like Google, Meta, and Amazon. The U.S. has responded with familiar threats of tariffs and trade retaliation, repeating a now well-worn pattern of diplomatic pushback without addressing the underlying issue. That issue is structural: the global tax framework was built around physical presence, but today's digital economy allows companies to generate profits in countries where they have no offices, employees, or infrastructure.As frustration builds in countries watching tech firms reap profits without corresponding local tax contributions, DSTs have become a tool to reclaim taxing rights. In response, nearly 140 countries have worked through the OECD to build a two-pillar international solution. Pillar One aims to reallocate taxing rights based on where users are located; Pillar Two introduces a global minimum tax. Yet, while other countries move forward, the U.S. continues to resist fully embracing Pillar One—out of concern for political optics and revenue loss.That resistance is counterproductive. By refusing to commit to a multilateral framework, the U.S. is guaranteeing the very outcome it opposes: a fragmented global tax landscape where each country sets its own rules. The current whac-a-mole strategy—reacting to every unilateral move with threats—offers no long-term protection for U.S. companies and only heightens global instability. It's time for the U.S. to stop playing defense and help finalize a framework that reflects the realities of the digital economy.Whac-A-Mole Taxation Battles Will Persist Without A Global Deal This is a public episode.

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Brett Swarts, founder of Capital Gains Tax Solutions, to explore strategies for minimizing capital gains taxes when selling real estate or business assets. Brett Swarts is the founder of Capital Gains Tax Solutions, specializing in advanced strategies to help investors defer or eliminate capital gains taxes. With extensive experience in structuring Deferred Sales Trusts and other exit strategies, Brett has guided numerous real estate and business owners in building tax-efficient, long-term wealth plans. Brett explains how the Deferred Sales Trust (DST) offers a flexible alternative to traditional 1031 exchanges, providing investors with greater control over timing, liquidity, and investment choices while deferring taxes in a manner that is legally compliant under IRS guidelines. Brett outlines the mechanics of a DST, detailing how proceeds from a sale can be structured to defer capital gains taxes and reinvest in a variety of assets. You'll get insight into the advantages of a DST over standard tax-deferral methods, including reduced pressure to time the market, expanded diversification opportunities, and the ability to preserve wealth across multiple investment vehicles. Jonathan and Brett also discuss common misconceptions about tax-deferred strategies, emphasizing the importance of understanding legal structures and working with experienced professionals. The conversation highlights how these tools can fit into a broader estate and legacy planning framework, ensuring that wealth is transferred efficiently to future generations while maintaining flexibility for investors today. Several real-world examples demonstrate how investors have effectively utilized DSTs to manage risk, maintain cash flow, and safeguard portfolio value in dynamic markets. Brett emphasizes that while a DST can benefit many investors, it is particularly effective for those with significant gains, complex portfolios, or long-term wealth preservation goals. The discussion concludes with actionable guidance on evaluating whether a DST aligns with an investor's exit strategy and long-term financial objectives. By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to approach capital gains tax planning strategically, integrating DSTs into their broader real estate and business investment strategies. Jonathan and Brett provide a clear framework for deferring taxes, diversifying holdings, and protecting wealth, enabling investors to make informed decisions that align with both their financial and personal objectives. In this episode, you will hear: How the Deferred Sales Trust works as an alternative to 1031 exchanges Ways to defer capital gains taxes while maintaining investment flexibility Strategies for diversifying proceeds and protecting portfolio value Common misconceptions about tax-deferred exit strategies How estate and legacy planning can integrate with a DST Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Absolutely — here's the same title and description with a concise, professional disclaimer added: Selling in a choppy market? Jamison breaks down the three big exit paths for multifamily owners: an all-cash sale (and the tax hit), a 1031 exchange into another property, and a Section 721 UPREIT into a REIT—plus where a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) fits. We compare tax deferral, control, fees, estate planning, and flexibility (including NV REIT's semi-liquidity), and outline who each option is best for—from long-time owners “graying out” with low debt to operators still scaling. Bottom line: With a bit of planning before you list, you can potentially save millions in taxes and simplify your life. What we cover: When a straight cash sale still makes sense—and its tax cost 1031 rules, timelines, “like-kind,” and when to level up into larger assets 721 UPREIT: rolling into REIT units for diversification, dividends, and estate simplicity DSTs: why some choose them, typical fee trade-offs, and liquidity constraints How to match your exit to goals: taxes, heirs, control, and hassle factor ⚠️ Disclaimer: This discussion is for informational purposes only and is not tax or investment advice.

This week, Jeff Mans dives into a topic that gets little to no attention early on, and that is defensive matchups. Even though it's only been three weeks, there are several defenses across the NFL that have identified themselves as being either very good or very poor against the run or pass. The earlier we identify this, the sooner we can make better matchup decisions in fantasy football. Speaking of defenses, you will not believe who the highest scoring DSTs are in fantasy football right now. Jeff goes over the list and wonders why any leagues are still using this archaic position in 2025. Week three has also brought us a ton of injured players. Jeff goes over the injury list for week four and discusses the timeline for each player and who we can count on to replace them during that span. As always, Mans gives out his top 10 waiver wire pickups of the week and even a few tips on getting ahead of the bye weeks that start in week five. Assuming you survived the Green Bay loss last week, Mans also has his survivor contest play and gives out another Thursday Night Football bet this time for the Seahawks and Cardinals.

Frederick Hubler Jr., an independent financial advisor and Forbes contributor, pulls back the curtain on how major endowments and foundations invest, and how everyday accredited investors (including active real estate folks) can borrow that playbook. He explains how DSTs can help a seller complete a 1031 exchange into fractional ownership of large, stabilized, income-producing properties—think Amazon distribution centers, senior housing, student housing—without taking on new management duties. We cover who qualifies, why DSTs can be a powerful “get the seller off the fence” tool, what typical cash flow ranges look like, how leverage and depreciation carry over, and the three exit paths when a DST “lands.” Frederick also shares real-world examples, trade-offs (like 5–8 year hold periods), and why some investors use DSTs to reset basis and keep swapping to defer taxes over time. - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

Deferred Sales Trust Secrets with Brett Swarts - #245 In this episode of the Real Estate Reserve Podcast, Jason and Ian sit down with Brett Swarts, Founder of Capital Gains Tax Solutions, to break down the Deferred Sales Trust (DST)—a powerful, lesser-known strategy to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of real estate, businesses, crypto, and other highly appreciated assets. Unlike a 1031 exchange, the DST offers far more flexibility and control, with no like-kind requirement, no strict deadlines, and the ability to reinvest into a variety of assets—all while deferring taxes.

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Pat Brown, an International Tax Partner and Co-Leader of PwC's Washington National Tax Services practice. Pat previously served as the US Treasury's Deputy International Tax Counsel and has been a frequent guest on the podcast. Doug and Pat discuss the legislative and international tax implications of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill', including its procedural path through US Congress under budget reconciliation, and its implications for both domestic and cross-border taxpayers. They explore the bill's temporary business provisions, including TCJA 'orphan' fixes, and the evolving treatment of research expenses, bonus depreciation, and interest deductions. A major focus is Section 899—dubbed the 'super BEAT'—which targets foreign digital services taxes (DSTs), diverted profits taxes (DPTs), and Pillar Two's undertaxed profits rule (UTPR) with steep retaliatory measures. They also analyze the international negotiations around UTPR exemptions, the impact on treaty obligations, and the ongoing debate over treatment of US tax credits—particularly the R&D credit—under global minimum tax rules.

The last couple of weeks, we've been deep in the world of buying businesses. But what happens when it's time to cash out? Maybe you're ready to sell your business, that investment property you've managed for years, or another major asset you've poured your energy into. If you're like most people, the thrill of a big sale is quickly followed by a less-exciting thought: “Wait, how much am I going to owe in taxes?” It's the classic one-two punch—first the celebration, then the sinking feeling as you picture Uncle Sam's hand reaching for a chunk of your hard-earned gains. But here's the good news: you actually have options. Real, legal, IRS-approved options. And the right strategy can mean the difference between watching your profits shrink and putting your money to work for you—sometimes for years to come. Of course, things get a little trickier if you have a mortgage or other debt on the property, but don't worry—we'll break that down too. Let's start with one of the oldest tricks in the book: the 1031 Exchange. If you own investment real estate, you've probably heard about this one. The idea is simple: sell your property, buy another “like-kind” property, and—if you follow the rules—kick that tax bill down the road. But here's the twist: if you've got a mortgage, you'll need to replace that debt with equal or greater debt on your next property, or pony up the difference in cash. Otherwise, the IRS will want a piece of the action right away. So yes, leverage matters! Now, maybe you're tired of being a landlord but still want those tax perks. Enter the Delaware Statutory Trust, or DST. This is essentially 1031 exchanging into a syndication that is designed for this type of thing. You sell your property and, instead of buying another one yourself, you buy a slice of a big, professionally managed property—like an apartment complex or shopping center. DSTs often come with their own loans, so you can match your old mortgage and keep the tax deferral going. The upside? No more midnight calls about leaky faucets. The downside? You're trusting someone else to run the show and they need to be good at it (just like any syndication operator). And, there are some rules and restrictions that can affect your returns negatively. But what if you're selling a business? That's where Employee Stock Ownership Plans, or ESOPs, come in. Imagine selling your company to the people who helped you build it—your employees—and deferring a big chunk of your capital gains tax in the process. It's a win-win, but if your business has debt, things can get complicated fast. This is definitely a strategy where you'll want a seasoned advisor in your corner. Now, let's talk about installment sales and structured sales. In this scenario, instead of getting paid all at once for your asset, you spread out the payments—and the taxes—over several years. Structured sales even bring in a third party to guarantee those payments, adding an extra layer of security. But—and this is a big but—if you have a mortgage, the IRS treats the amount the buyer pays off as if you got that money in cash on day one. So, you'll pay taxes on that portion right away. For example, if you sell for $1 million but owe $600,000, you can only defer taxes on the $400,000 you actually receive over time. The more debt you have, the less you can defer. And finally, we have the Deferred Sales Trust—the topic of this week's Wealth Formula Episode. Think of this as the “supercharged” version of a structured sale. Instead of waiting on the buyer for payments, you transfer your asset to a trust, which sells it and invests the proceeds. You get to choose how and when you receive your money, and the trust can invest in all kinds of assets while your taxes stay deferred. It's flexible, it's powerful, and it gives you the chance to grow your money while you wait. Which of these strategies is right for your situation depends on your goals, your assets,
In this episode we answer emails from Marco Esquandolas and Multi-Family Investor. We discuss a long-term diversified Roth portfolio for a 13-year old, modelling Delaware Statutory Trusts in a portfolio, transitioning out of an all S&P 500 allocation in a taxable account, PFIX, Sabine Royalty Trust and individual stocks in retirement portfolios, and M1 Finance.Note/Correction: Sabine is actually NOT structured like an MLP but as a true trust and therefore issues 1099s, not K-1s like most companies in the oil & gas royalty space.Links:Shannon's Demon Article: Unexpected Returns: Shannon's Demon & the Rebalancing Bonus – Portfolio ChartsIDMO vs EFG (and other international growth funds) Analysis: testfol.io/analysis?s=4PEQ1YvTbAMBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Dive into the world of strategic portfolio building with this illuminating episode where Frank tackles questions from two distinct investors at opposite ends of the age spectrum. A father shares his 13-year-old son's Shannon's Demon-inspired portfolio that's being built for an ultra-long 50+ year time horizon, featuring a balanced approach to growth and value across both domestic and international markets. Frank offers targeted advice on fund selection while celebrating this young investor's precocious financial journey.The conversation shifts dramatically when an engineer earning $250,000-300,000 annually shares his detailed retirement strategy with hopes of financial independence before 50. With $3.4 million spread across multiple investment vehicles including real estate, this listener puzzles over how to transition to a risk parity portfolio without triggering a substantial tax bill. Frank methodically dissects several aspects of this complex situation, questioning the wisdom of backdoor Roth conversions during peak earning years and clarifying misconceptions about Delaware Statutory Trusts as bond substitutes.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Frank's blend of technical advice and practical wisdom. He cuts through complex tax and investment strategies to offer straightforward solutions - identifying tax-loss harvesting opportunities, rethinking account structures, and focusing on expenses rather than arbitrary portfolio targets. The discussion extends to specialized investments like royalty trusts and interest rate hedges, providing listeners with a masterclass in portfolio construction that balances theoretical ideals with real-world constraints.Whether you're managing investments for the next generation or planning your own early retirement, this episode delivers actionable insights on building resilient, tax-efficient portfolios tailored to your unique circumstances. The principles shared apply across market conditions and investment goals, making this essential listening for any DIY investor seeking to optimize their financial future.Support the show
