I just don't like giving up hard earned Capital Gains to taxes and I bet you don't either! Well I have good news for you...

There is another way...

In fact, there is an investment technique that will let you shelter 100% of your Capital Gains from any asset sale and allow you to roll from one investment to the next without paying any taxes at all. You are completely in control of where and when you pay taxes .... Perfect!

First things first...

First you have to forget about Wall Street, Stocks and Bonds and look at the investment class always present in the portfolio of the sophisticated investor. I am talking about direct ownership of Commercial Real Estate.

Here's why...

Only Commercial Property Investment offers you consistent and predictable cash flow AND these three unique tax benefits.

- Yearly tax write offs no matter how much income you make - using Depreciation.

- A legitimate source of 100% Tax Free Income - with refinancing to pull money out of a stable property.

AND the subject of this article ...

Complete shelter of Capital Gains at the sale of your property

This Cap Gains Shelter only has three steps...

1) Purchase a cash flowing Income Property

2) Use your property manager's skills to drive up the income. [There are literally hundreds of ways to do this on both the income and expense side of the ledger]

3) When you get ready to sell your appreciated property make sure you take advantage of Treasury Regulation Section 1031.

The 1031 Exchange

When you purchase property number two using profits from property number one through a 1031 Exchange, you completely shield your Capital Gains from taxation.

You still make as much income as possible from both properties and can be taxed on the income but your Cap Gains are 100% sheltered. You can literally purchase more and more property with your capital gains and not be taxed on that gain until you decide you would like to pay the taxes.

The "Daisy Chain"

- You can transfer from property to property over time rolling larger and larger gains into larger and larger properties

- You can roll from one big property into multiple smaller ones

- You can roll from multiple smaller properties into one larger one

- You can even use your Estate Plan to roll Cap Gains into a position where they generate income in perpetuity and are you will NEVER be taxed on the gain.

You are in control here...

You choose how you roll the exchange, safe in the knowledge that you will not be taxed. And you will find any number of exchange facilitators to take care of the details. Just search "1031 Exchange" on Google to check it out.

The 1031 is the Perfect Cap Gains Tax Shelter and just one of the reasons Commercial Real Estate deserves a prominent place in Your Portfolio.
