Put $100,000 into the syndication black box and take out a charitable contribution of $900,000 a year or two later.

The only thing I'd have to double check is when is the sec121 exclusion for the $250k capital gains tax exclusion is applied, but I'm pretty sure its applied after...Capital gains is taxed at the Federal level, and I believe from all the discussions also by California.You could tax loss harvest any other capital assets that might be down, e.g. stocks.I don't advocate the charitable donation for the sake of tax... 

I have begun to take some losses as a result of more charitable landlording.
