Real estate and business owners have several effective strategies to defer capital gains taxes while reinvesting profits. A 1031 exchange allows investors to sell an investment property and reinvest in a similar property without immediately paying taxes, enabling continual portfolio growth. Opportunity zone investments, made through a Qualified Opportunity Fund, offer another powerful tax deferral tool—capital gains are deferred until 2026, reduced by 10% if held for five years, and eliminated entirely on new gains if held for ten years. For those selling high-value assets like property or a business, installment sales offer tax relief by spreading payments—and thus the tax burden—over multiple years instead of one large upfront tax hit. Each approach helps investors preserve more capital, reinvest strategically, and manage long-term tax liabilities.
