AdvertisementJose Palafox used a DST 1031 exchange to defer taxes on his Portland rental sale. In the summer of 2024, Jose Palafox took advantage of a little-known tax strategy called a DST 1031 exchange, which allows investors to avoid capital gains tax on the sale of a rental property. Palafox was ready to sell his Portland rental, which had become more of a headache than a cash cow. Executing a DST 1031 exchange, in which you sell a property and reinvest the proceeds into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST), not only allowed him to defer capital gains tax — it also released him from landlord responsibilities. To do a DST 1031 exchange, you have to be what's called an accredited investor.

North Carolina lawyer Katie Jenifer is trying to prepare one year’s worth of estrogen for her transgender daughter. If the Trump administration still allows trans people to change the gender marker on their passport, Greenesmith said, it might require them to provide proof of gender-reassignment surgery, putting gender-marker changes out of reach for the majority of trans people.
