Hello BP Community,We’re under contract to sell our primary home in Indiana, and I could really use some advice on tax strategies—specifically, a Deferred Sales Trust (DST).Here are the key details:Purchased in 2010 for $499KUnder contract to sell for $2.499M (closing scheduled for December 2, 2025)Current mortgage balance: $94KThis leaves us facing a sizable potential tax burden.From my research, a Deferred Sales Trust seems like the only option to mitigate the tax hit.
