Steve K. Question on Cap Gains taxes/ Section 121 Exclusion
29 April 2024 | 5 replies
It's a strict 2-year requirement.As for strategies to avoid capital gains on the sale, if your client doesn't meet the ownership and use requirements for the Section 121 exclusion, they might explore other options such as:1031 Exchange: If the property is an investment property rather than a primary residence, your client could consider a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains tax by reinvesting the proceeds into another investment property.Installment Sale: If your client is willing to accept payments over time, they could consider structuring the sale as an installment sale, spreading the recognition of the gain over multiple tax years.Charitable Remainder Trust: If your client is charitably inclined, they could contribute the property to a charitable remainder trust, receive income from the trust for a certain period, and then have the remaining trust assets pass to charity upon their death, potentially reducing or eliminating capital gains tax.These are just a few options, and your client's specific financial situation and goals would need to be considered in determining the best approach.
Nathan Gesner What is the hardest part of DIY management?
30 April 2024 | 28 replies
@Nathan Gesner 1) if you’re investing with a spouse make sure both are on board for self management or it will harm the relationship. 2) it’s a business, not a charity, so if you’re susceptible to hard luck stories from applicants/tenants, don’t self manage. 3) water heaters, heat and a/c, plumbing only seems to break down when you’re finally on vacation, so have good contractors in place who will go on your call and let you pay them from out of town.
