Selling highly appreciated property can create an unexpected tax bill, but it doesn't always have to.
In this episode, I sit down with Chad Ettmueller and Monty Walker to unpack a little-known strategy called the Structured Installment Sale. We break down how it works, who it's designed for, and why it may offer more flexibility than many traditional tax-deferral options.
Whether you're selling investment property, farmland, timberland, or even a family business, understanding your options before you sign on the dotted line could make a significant financial difference.
