A Legal Strategy to Sell Appreciated Real Estate, Eliminate Taxes, and Create Income
If you’re sitting on appreciated real estate or land, you might feel like you’re trapped in a catch-22:
You want to sell, but the capital gains taxes make it feel like you’re giving away a huge portion of your wealth.
But what if you could:
✔️ Sell your property at full market value
✔️ Pay no capital gains tax
✔️ Eliminate or reduce your estate tax burden
✔️ And still receive income...for life...from the full, pre-tax proceeds?
This strategy exists...and it’s not a Delaware Statutory Trust.
It’s not a Deferred Sales Trust or Monetized Installment Sale (which the IRS has placed under scrutiny via Proposed Regulation 2023-139).
And it’s not a Charitable Remainder Trust, either.
It’s something different...and far more powerful.
On our upcoming virtual training, we’ll walk you through a proven, IRS-compliant solution called the Real Estate Diversification Trust, which allows high-net-worth individuals to unlock liquidity, defer taxes, and maintain control.
Sterling Foundation Management has helped clients save over $1 billion in taxes over the past 26 years using strategies just like this...and we’ve worked with thousands of families and advisors across the country.
🎓This is a purely educational webinar...nothing will be sold.
One lucky live attendee will win a 3-night, 4-day stay at a 5-star resort in the U.S.
If you’ve got highly appreciated real estate or land and are ready for a smarter way to exit, this is the webinar you don’t want to miss.
