This is what got my interest in real estate I need to plant in harvest. 

Yes, I’m a fan of harvesting the equity built up in properties.

But here are ways to reduce capital gains taxes:Deduct expenses (renovation, selling costs) in 2024 to offset gains.Hold for 1+ year to qualify for lower long-term capital gains tax rates.Invest in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) to defer taxes.Use tax-loss harvesting to offset gains with investment losses.Pushing 2024 deductions to 2025 won’t help much with 2024 capital gains.

And my rental cash flow went from only $1500/month to 19k/month profit by taking on more loans and harvesting the equity in some of my properties including my primary.

The first farmer tries to plant, water, and harvest everything himself.

@Nick Ruffini There may be some opportunities for tax-gain harvesting but without the relevant data, I'd be unable to confidently say one way or another what would be beneficial or possible for your parents.

I've looked at Quickbooks, Stressa, Harvest...etc.

Harvest is a good market and desirable for renters.

But never allow someone to buy a lot and put a Pink trailer on it.  

Tax StrategyWhile liquidating the brokerage account may trigger capital gains taxes, strategies like staggered withdrawals or tax-loss harvesting can help minimize the impact.
