Sell My Business —> Invest in Real Estate, Any Tax Strategies?

[Nic DeAngelo]

Hi Guys! I have spent the last several years creating and building up several businesses here in California. I would like to now sell these businesses, take these funds, and invest full time into real estate. Are there any legal tax strategies where I could sell my businesses, purchase properties with the proceeds, and defer/avoid/shelter myself from the business sale tax burden while purchasing properties? Possibly similar to a 1031 type structure? My apologies if this is basic info, I’m pretty familiar with real estate but very ignorant of tax investment strategies. Thank you! - ND
