Show notes

What are capital gains — and why do sellers get blindsided by the tax bill after closing?

In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Secrets, Aviva Sonenreich sits down with Paul Ranieri, consultant at Engineered Capital Gains, to break down capital gains taxes in plain English and explain strategies sellers use to defer taxes when a 1031 exchange isn’t the right fit.

What capital gains are (simple explanation) and why the IRS is the “silent partner”
What a 1031 exchange is — and the 45-day / 180-day timing pressure
Deferred Sales Trust vs 1031: what’s different and when it helps
Investing pre-tax proceeds and paying taxes later
Flexibility: real estate vs stocks, bonds, treasuries, annuities
What happens if the seller dies (estate planning + beneficiary payments)
Common seller mistakes: lack of planning, not knowing basis, waiting too long
