I'm hoping he meant something else.....I was referring to the overall concept of taxation....

Capital gains taxation applies to stocks and bonds.

@Joe Splitrock  lending, taxation, and investing are all different in Canada than in the USA.

It's just a normal process of real property assessment and taxation.

With that said, below are some tips on how to find a local CPA.Your first choice should be to find a CPA that specializes in real estate taxation and one that is local.

Sometimes you can even use a failed 1031 to your benefit by deferring the capital gains to the next year.Lower Capital Gains Brackets - If you have flexibility with your income such that you can minimize other income in the year of sale, you may be able to take advantage of 0% taxation in the Standard Deduction, 12% Ordinary Income Rates (which is pretty low), and 0% long term capital gains rates.

but sometimes paying tax at cap gains is OK if your going to buy a buisness that far out perfroms rental income and thats not all that hard to do frankly. 

The spread between treasuries and the CVS might also widen or stay the same.In any case, I'd take the CVS due to leverage, potential appreciation as well as different taxation rates.

I guess you could get something like a quit claim deed, but that would be bad on the sellers part because he won't have much for insurance that payment would actually happen - and I don't think you could do that at a title company because they have ethics regulations about that (everyone would just quit claim deed their house over for $10, and you would by a paper clip for $200,000 and then there would be no basis for taxation) Besides the money won't really be made in the 6 months to a year by; the time you recoup your buying expenses, any repairs or upgrades you need to do the property or just rebuilding reserves. 

The entity type doesn't always result in separate taxation. e.g. an LLC can be a pass through entity directly to your own tax returns, or not depending on the structure.
