Discover how Texas landowners are selling ranches, farms, and investment tracts while legally deferring capital gains taxes and turning land equity into passive income.

Thinking about selling your Texas land… but worried about taxes?

If you’ve owned your land for years (or inherited it), you may be facing:

• A big capital gains tax bill when you sell
• Depreciation recapture and surprises at tax time
• Not wanting to trade one management headache for another

You’re not alone—and you have options.

The Solution

Tax-Smart Strategies for Landowners
Working together, we help landowners:

• Use 1031 Exchanges to roll equity into new property
• Leverage Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) to go truly passive
• Structure sales to defer taxes and create more predictable income
• Build a long-term plan for retirement, legacy, and heirs

You handle the decision to sell.
We help you understand how to keep more of what you’ve built.
