I’d put it good bonds and collect.

You really need to consider the tax implications of the sale. Especially in a sale of this value, the tax strategy could very well be the primary driver of what you decide.

If you are already in retirement, then I would be looking at preserving principle while still have cash flow. Bonds are one of the best ways to do this. Look at the yield and collect 3-4% to have fun in retirement.

Thanks for the help guys. I think the bond route would be good for us after looking into it.

Now if the Texas property sells, all bets are off and it will be straight OT baller status.

The IRS code's Section 1031 makes it possible for an investor to defer paying capital gains taxes on an investment property upon its sale -- as long as another, "like kind" property is bought with the profit from the sale of the investment property.

Google 1031 tax exchange and you will find much info but I'm sure you will need an expert to help you with that. The amount of capital gains would depend on her basis (her costs) in the property and since it is inherited presumably the basis is low.

Guys, I appreciate it. I've always been good with money but not so informed about investing. I have always just sacrificed and busted my arse.

The way I understand it, she's liable for taxes based off of the difference between the sale amount and the valuation at the time of the formation of the LLC. It sat in a trust for a few years then transitioned to a LLC for tax purposes i believe.

“valuation at the time of the formation of the LLC”

That sounds right to me but I’m not an accountant and have no personal experience with that type/size inheritance.

I think moving your investment out of CA is a good strategic move.

Until you loose the tenant. NNN isn’t for the casual investor.

Props given but your situation calls for a prudent financial professional.

Yes it will be “expensive” to hire a good one but doing any of the many potential wrong things for y’all will be much more costly and wasteful.

It’s OK to admit you need help.

It’s a good problem to have, in y’all’s case.

Good luck,

Keep it in real estate and try to do a 1031 exchange to avoid paying taxes?

Look for a triple net deal where you don’t do anything maybe?


Solid advice.

First piece of advice is start investing and educating yourself now, so that if you get one of the windfalls then you will be ready. The only difference between investing 13,000 and 1.3 mil is that on the bad days when you lose 3% and that’s like 40,000 in a day you have to not shite a brick and sell off.

But yes, you need to talk to a cpa about the taxes here. That’s going to be very important and may make selling it not as good of an idea.

ETF. I like VPU, but there is one for any industry you are interested in. Zero work on your part, and will send you a quarterly check. Enjoy your hard work by not doing anymore.

UPDATE--My wife, her sister and her uncle are on board with selling the apartments and Main Street commercial building in California. It will be listed soon.

I guess I need to figure some shite out quick. Haha.
