Real estate investing is about increasing your capital and if you do it effectively you will grow your wealth. The one downside is the capital gains tax that investors face on the profits of their investments. Luckily, there are strategies that can help investors defer their capital gains tax obligations. 1031 exchanges are popular strategies for real estate investors, but there is a lesser-known strategy called a deferred sales trust.
