How to avoid capital gains tax on real estate

This is how you pay zero taxes on the sale of your property.

So one of the greatest gifts that the federal government gave us is something called a 1031 exchange or like-kind exchange.

When you sell a piece of real estate, unlike selling a business, you can go ahead and put it into an escrow and use that money to buy the next property.

So you can actually build a real estate portfolio without ever having to pay a single dime in taxes on any of your gains.

That’s actually pretty cool.
