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.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday defended his stance on cryptocurrency, saying he endorses owning some as a hedge against government spending and a ballooning deficit, as "national debt worries are never going to go away." Some on Wall Street believe that due to cryptocurrency's fixed supply, it will be a solid asset in the event that continued excessive federal spending — and a widening U.S. national debt — devalues the dollar. However, he acknowledged that cryptocurrency is also fairly new and doesn't yet have a proven track record. Cramer expressed skepticism that the government will be able to solve the debt issue any time soon. "I think bitcoin, ethereum and maybe even some other cryptocurrencies deserve a spot in your portfolio, too," Cramer said.
