Move to this US City to Avoid Fed Income Tax?

Off Market Deal for sale $2.58M - ARV $5.777M

I'm Speaking Next Week in Orlando Jan 31-Feb 2 at this Commercial Academy Mastermind Event. 

Here's What I'm Sharing:

  • $235K Flip with $10K in Capex: The easiest Commercial Deals are "light lift"-or, in other words, no heavy lifting such as huge capex projects, huge vacancy, etc. While this profit may be small, so was the total effort require to operate the deal short term.

  • Double our Gross Profit in 2025 Considering we've exited over $50M per year for the past 4 years straight, doubling is no small achievement. You can use this strategy in your business, whether you are commercial or residential, agent or broker. I'll tell you how in Orlando.

My Dad & I at the Henry Flagler Museum

This week I took my dad over to Palm Beach to visit the Henry Flagler Museum. I have been there 4 times now-and I am inspired every time I go. Henry Flagler was the legal mind behind Rockefeller & Standard Oil (Exxon-Mobil). 

He invested his fortune developing the Florida East Coast railroad-and cities along it's route including St. Augustine, Palm Beach, Daytona Beach, & Miami, Florida. Without Flagler, Florida's economic power may not exist. Henry Flagler believed, as I do, it is better to invest in helping the man help himself, rather than giving a handout. This was his view on developing Florida-provide the catalyst for economic organic growth.

 PRO TIP: Before visiting the Henry Flagler Museum, read The Last Train to Paradise to grasp the rich history of real estate development in Florida.

 In the car on the way back home I asked my dad, "What would it take to alleviate the US housing shortage using Federal land? How could you jump start a new city without an economic engine such as a port or logistics cluster?  What would bring people to Trump's federal housing projects?" The answer sparked this idea:

Move to Trump's City & Pay NO Federal Income Tax

Trump proposed providing Federal Land for development of homes to address the housing shortage. Surely, this utopia will be named after Trump. I assume this will also provide streamlined zoning to allow record speed in constructing houses and the necessary infrastructure. But then the problem all real estate developers & investors face:

Who Will Buy these Houses? Why Move to Trump's City?

To solve this issue, I propose a 5 year Federal Income Tax Amnesty on the 1st Million in income for residents who agree to establish residency in Trump's City AND agree to remain a resident for 10 years. This would incentivize people to move and remain after the tax-free period expires. Here are the options for the location(s) of Trump's city: 

Since you read the subject line & are now reading this, I'm guessing you may have thought, "Wow, I can move INSIDE the US and find a tax haven?" If fact, a policy like this, on maybe 25,000 acres, might allow for 50,000 residents. 

 This would create a land grab along the lines of the opening of the frontier in 1889. There would need to be a lottery, and perhaps income bracket quotas which could be filled strategically so as not to create a federal housing project along the lines of Cabrini Green over time. Far better to have a wide range of incomes to give the city a solid foundation for future desirability & innovation.

 Anyway, I'm done dreaming about US tax policy. Having written several large checks for 2024 taxes, and watching bonus depreciation waning to just 40% this year, I am anxiously awaiting the expected tax code updates from our newly elected President...
