Join hosts Michael Blank and Garrett Lynch in an enlightening discussion with Brett Swarts, a leading authority on capital gains tax deferral.
In this episode of Podcasts, Brett shares his innovative approach to deferring capital gains taxes, delving into the benefits and mechanisms of the Deferred Sales Trust (DST). Swarts, author of “Building a Capital Gains Tax Exit Plan” and an expert in the field, provides invaluable insights and practical advice to both passive and active investors looking to optimize their financial strategies.
Key Takeaways:
– **Introducing Deferred Sales Trust (DST):** Brett Swarts breaks down the concept of the Deferred Sales Trust, highlighting how it serves as a flexible alternative to the traditional 1031 exchange. He explains the financial mechanics and the potential benefits for various asset classes, including real estate, businesses, and cryptocurrency.
– **Comparing DST and 1031 Exchange:** Learn about the key differences between DST and the 1031 exchange. Discover how DST offers greater flexibility, no timing restrictions, and no debt replacement requirements, making it a preferable choice for many investors.
– **Real-Life Case Studies:** Brett shares inspiring stories of clients who transformed their financial lives using DST. For instance, Warren and Kathryn used the trust to sell a property, increase cash flow by $70,000 a year, and regain precious time with their family.
– **Understanding the Financials:** The episode provides a detailed look at the costs and potential returns of DST. Brett covers one-time fees, recurring trustee fees (1.5% to 2% of invested funds), and the anticipated ROI, which is about 8% net of fees.
– **Navigating Legal and Strategic Aspects:** The hosts emphasize the importance of having the right professionals on your team, especially a real estate-minded CPA. Brett is recommended as a consultant for cost segregation and for bringing in qualified CPAs to optimize these processes.
