How Installment Sales Defer Taxes on Large Gains

Lucas and Luna unpack the installment sale strategy for deferring capital gains tax when selling a business, property, or valuable asset. Using the example of a $2 million commercial building sale in Austin in June 2026, they walk through how spreading payments over five years keeps the tax bill manageable and avoids the net investment income tax surcharge. They also cover the tricky recapture rules on depreciation and the pitfall of related-party sales. By the end, you'll know why a seller might opt for a 5-year note at 8% interest rather than taking all cash upfront, and how to structure the deal properly with your tax advisor. #InstallmentSale #CapitalGains #TaxDeferral #BusinessSale #RealEstateTax #DepreciationRecapture #Section453 #NetInvestmentIncomeTax #InterestIncome #SellerFinancing #AustinRealEstate #TaxStrategy #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TaxPlanning #WealthManagement #PodcastEpisode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
