Brief

DallasAptGP recommends moving real estate into Opportunity Zone structures to eliminate taxable gain concerns, bluntly calling it “No tax.” StripMallGuy (@realEstateTrent) argues for post-tax net worth accounting, giving examples — treating a $1M property gain as $700k after capital gains and warning that unrealized $2M stock gains overstate financial standing if taxes aren’t considered.

Why it matters

@DallasAptGP urges putting real estate into the Opportunity Zone tax structure to “avoid this debate entirely,” claiming “No tax” as the benefit.

Key details

  • StripMallGuy (@realEstateTrent) says he calculates net worth in post-tax dollars: a $1M property gain is treated as ~$700k after capital gains, and a $2M stock gain should be discounted for taxes to avoid an inflated net worth.

No tax

I don't think most people are totally honest with themselves when it comes to calculating net worth.

I've always calculated it in terms of post-tax dollars. If a property's worth $1M more than what I paid for it, I deduct the capital gains, and only recognize, say $700k of the $1M.

I think if your stock portfolio is up $2M, recognizing it at the market value, without accounting for the tax loss, is lying to yourself - and lots of folks walk around with a deeply inflated sense of their financial standing.

What am I missing?
