At IREXA, LLC, we are not product providers, we are solution providers. We look at how we can improve tax savings with every action we advise. Real estate is one member of the non – traded alternative asset class we use to provide opportunities to reduce taxes and enhance after tax yield, wealth preservation.
The hardest thing to explain to a client about our services is that at a base level we are product agnostic. We can speak about products, however, our best results are achieved when we fully understand our client’s needs. From that understanding, we develop solutions that use real estate, non-traded alternatives, and insurance in an integrated manner to meet the client’s stated needs as we understand them. We call our method Strategic Tax Mitigation™.
For example, in a recent consultation a high net worth individual had inherited property in the middle of the country. The property was worthless until they found oil. He received an offer on the property, the net price of which was $9,000,000. As the seller, he was interested in deferring his taxable gain.
He explained that he and his wife had already gifted the entire amount that they could to his children from the proceeds. Instead of a $9 million gain, he had created a $4,500,000 tax liability for his heirs.
