Above is a great example of one of our landlords who was looking to sell his rental property worth about $800,000. After reviewing his tax position, he learned that if he sold and took all the cash immediately, he would owe about $123k in taxes. But if he took the payments over time, he could earn anywhere from $110k to $116k above where he would have been if he took the lump sum. The above is based on the landlord receiving 2% interest. So imagine if you got a higher interest rate, how the numbers would change in your favor!
