Possible to eliminate tax on capital gains through RealEstate?

[Jay Chandler]

Say I have securities such as stocks or crypto currencies.

If I hold these over a year and sell, the gain gets taxed at a 23% rate + the state tax rate.

Other than opportunity zone investing, is there ANY real estate strategy that can help with this?

I initially thought I could use bonus depreciation through cost segregation on commercial properties I invest in, but this apparently cannot be used to offset non real estate sourced gains.

Thanks.

Correct.

But when you sell the RE, you can use the losses that were suspended. And if the accumulated losses are greater than the RE gain, it will also eat your capital gain from stock sales.

That is the long term strategy of using your losses much later when you actually need them.
