Stage 3 of the Landmark Wealth Framework

Use the Right Tax Strategy at the Right Time—for the Right Facts

Tax strategies are not products to collect. Their value depends on income, participation, basis, timing, documentation and the investor’s larger financial plan. Landmark helps determine which strategies fit, what they may accomplish and what must happen before the opportunity expires.

Strategic Tax Reduction

Strategies must be matched to facts
Cost segregation does not help every investor immediately. REPS and short-term rental treatment depend on participation and documentation. A 1031 exchange may defer tax but may not serve every liquidity or estate objective. The analysis has to come before implementation.
Planning areas
Real Estate Professional Status, short-term rental participation, cost segregation, depreciation, entity structure, 1031 exchanges, installment sales, retirement plans, charitable strategies, opportunity zones and planning for major gains or exits.


The Landmark approach
Define the objective, verify the facts, estimate the benefit, identify risks, document the position and assign implementation steps. If the numbers or facts do not support the strategy, Landmark should say so.
