When you work with a financial advisor you might be surprised to find that they not only look at your investments, but so many other details. Giving up taxes affects your income in retirement. So, you have to look at your finances comprehensively.

You need to find the right strategy (or strategies) for that taxable event you are about to make. Brian talks about several clients who had invested in real estate in the past but are looking at getting out of it. You have to make a plan before you do that.

Minimize the taxes by tax planning with a professional.
