Perhaps a 1031C into a commercial property with something like 1031Crowdfunding.com, but quite frankly I'm nervous about the risks of doing an investment like this, not having a lot of experience or knowledge in this area.The other option I've been reading about is a CRUT or Charitable Remainder Unitrust, where you put the real estate in an irrivocable trust, sell the real estate, invest the money, and receive yearly payments from the trust until death, at which point the remains go to a charity of your choice.

Same for any depreciation recapture if they keep holding them as rentals.It sounds like you're going to have both a hefty CG bill and a large depreciation recapture tab, so if you're ready to get out of the REI game, look in the Charitable Remainder Trust that Jay mentioned.

It strikes me somewhat as a charitable action on my partners part, but certainly a monetizable situation too, it just needs to be treated as a real business.

Just like you get deductions for dependents, charitable donations, yourself, and many other things you can also deduct expenses related to your property in order to avoid paying taxes on your rental income.Expenses you can write off might include insurance, property taxes, the interest portion of your mortgage payment, repairs and maintenance, depreciation of your building, and any other reasonable expenses you might incur though the investment.I hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions!

By doing so, investors can front-load depreciation deductions, providing substantial tax benefits in the early years of property ownership.2) Conservation Easements:Conservation easements involve donating development rights or restrictions on a property to a qualified charitable organization or land trust.

Stay informed about any changes that may impact your tax situation and adapt your strategy accordingly.Charitable Contributions: If you donate to qualified charitable organizations, you can deduct those contributions, reducing your taxable income.Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA): Depending on your situation, contributing to an HSA or FSA can lower your taxable income.It's important to note that while these strategies can help reduce self-employment taxes, it's essential to comply with tax laws and regulations.
