The Arizona Structured Sales blog is going to be devoted to issues and experts who do estate planning, sell residential or commercial real estate, work at a escrow or title company in the State of Arizona. Our objective is to educate professionals on the use of a structured sale, or annuity funded installment sale when looking to safely and securely defer capital gains on the sale of real estate.

Wahlstrom and Associates, while located in Scottsdale, AZ, is nationally recognized as one of the leading experts and brokers in placing structured sales, designing installment sales on residential and commercial real estate, and working with mortgage and title companies to ensure a smooth closing for all parties.

This is a new concept, first introduced in 2006 by the Allstate Life Insurance Companies structured settlement division, and there are going to be a great deal of questions and issues. However, the chances are that Wahlstrom & Associates has already addressed the issue you are facing, or has the resources at hand, to answer your question.

Tax deferral via a secured installment sale funded by a structured sale annuity from either Allstate or Prudential Insurance is going to gain greater acceptance from property owners looking to exit real estate in some fashion and who are tired of the sketchy deals that seem to permeate the 1031, TIC (tenant in common) or now irrelevant private annuity trust strategy.

If you have a question, or comment, an opinion or just want to learn more about structured sales, this is the forum to do it. Join the discussion on our blog and learn how this product can both assist your client with their cash flow and tax planning, and also provide a nice commission boost to real estate or mortgage professionals who are licensed life insurance agents in the state of Arizona.
