The Tax-Deferred Exit — 30-Minute Call

What you told me

There is more than one way to stop being a landlord.

Selling and paying the tax is one option. It is not the only one, and for most owners it is not the best one. On the call we work through your situation three ways, side by side:

Retire from the work, not the asset.

Professionally managed property where the tenants, the repairs and the operations are someone else’s job.

Keep the capital working.

Defer the tax and the whole amount stays invested, instead of a slice of it going to the IRS this year.

Your heirs still get the step-up.

Deferring does not cost them the basis reset at death under IRC § 1014 — the deferred gain can end there rather than passing to them.

Rather I just call you?

If picking a slot is the awkward part, leave a number instead and I’ll ring you. Tell me roughly when suits and I’ll work around it.

By submitting, you agree to receive at least one phone call and email about planning your property sale. Consent is not a condition of anything.

You're on the calendar.

A confirmation with the call details is on its way to your inbox. Two things that make the call more useful:

Have the property address and your rough purchase date handy.
If you have a timeline in mind — next month, next year, or undecided — bring it. It changes which paths are still open.

Run My Numbers Before We Talk →

Optional, and about two minutes. It works out what the property earns you after every cost, and what a sale would cost in tax. Round numbers are fine — it just means we start the call with real figures instead of building them together.

What the tired-landlord call covers

Three things the briefing can't do, because they depend on your numbers.

What you could exchange into

Like-kind is a wider category than most sellers assume — it does not have to be another rental house. We'll talk through what qualifies for a property like yours, and what that opens up.

Your dates on a calendar

If you already have a closing date, we map the deadlines it sets and which tax year the sale lands in. If you don't, we work the other direction — what would need to be lined up first, and how much runway you actually want before listing.

Whether to do it at all

An exchange isn't always the right answer. Depreciation recapture, replacing debt, and how the sale interacts with the rest of your tax year all factor in. If a straight sale serves you better, I'll say so.

Rather just call?
