Have Any Of You Heard About This Type Of Transaction

notepad with investment opportunities on office wooden table.

Someone Discussed A New (To Me) Type Of Investment

Monetized Installment Sale (M453) Transactions. They were formerly called “collateralized installment sale” or “C453” transactions. They are based on Section 453 of the IRS Code.

A Person Has Property With A Low Basis

If they sell, large capital gains. If they do a 1031 Exchange, they have to move to a more expensive property and continue managing property.

This transaction allows them to get money out at no tax (loan proceeds) until the end of the contract (normally 30 years) or death.

Any comments from the financial planners. I understand installment sales and I understand 1031 Exchanges and I understand 1031 Tenants In Common Exchanges, but this 453, not so much.

    Hi Duane,
    My name is Juliet Kennedy and I am a student of yours. I just wanted to reply about the Monetized Installment. Yes, I know about it amd I actually did one transaction last January. I and my husband sold a 4 unit in Campbell, CA and we were able to defer capital gain tax for 30 years. There are some fees involve on this transaction but much lesser than the capital gain tax rate.
    If there is anything I can share to you or anyone interested. I would be more than happy to do so. Please feel free to reach out to me at 408-504-6167.
    Thank you.

    Best,
    Juliet Kennedy

      Juliet, thank you for commenting, I am equity rich but need to downsize (getting older)If I sell will have to give $300,000-400,000 to capital gains, if I am doing a 1031, then I have to buy more expensive then what I am selling for or equal too…how does this work..there must be some way to avoid letting the gov take my retirement? I am unfortunately in Calif as well,,that’s a big problem. thanks for any answer. thanks

      Hi Julie,

      My name is Nesh and I would really appreciate your help to guide me to do M453. I have my proceeds in 1031 exchange and I want to cash out but i was recommended to do M453. My tax guy told me not to do it and it is a scam they will take your money and run away. I want to cash out but this 1031 exchange company is telling me to do M453. I am very confused. If I do the M453 when do I get my money and how much they will charge.
      If you could please help will really appreciate it.

    Juliet that sounds like a 1031. What distinguishes a monetized installment from a 1031?

    Hello Larry:

    A monetized installment sale is one of many types of 1031 Exchange the IRS allow to deferred taxes up to 30 years or death and the heirs get a step-up in basis at the time of transfer for estate under $20M.

      will heirs still get a step-up in basis at the time of transfer for estate under $20M after Biden’s tax rule apply illuminating step-up base?

    There are implications that the cap gains tax in total is deferred for 30 years. My basic tax knowledge would say that one would pay pro rated taxes as the installment was paid off. If $ 30 was subject to capital gains over 30 years you’d file $1 of income subject to cap gain each year 1- 30 rather than 0 for years 1-29 and $30 in the last year. Please clarify. Thanks.

    Folks, a 453 has nothing to do with a 1031. They are very different transactions. With a 453 you can be rid of properties entirely while with a 1031 you are always involved with properties. The 453 just allows you to sell a property and pay taxes later via an installment sale mechanism. A 1031 forces you to acquire another property and defer taxes until such time as you exit the property entirely at which time you might want to do the 453.

      Could not agree with you more. However, the comparison that I was making was that you sell and do not pay the taxes till later. Another comparison that I would use on “installment sale” (453) is to the ads that you are seeing now about, “Sell your insurance policy now and get the cash while you can use it”
