Everything you need to know about the 537 IST Strategy
Yes. It's structured to be IRS compliant, with no IST audits to date.
Most route owners defer 100% of their capital gains taxes. On a $2M sale, that's typically $698,850+ in deferred taxes, plus structured quarterly income (not guaranteed).
The complete trust establishment process takes 2-3 weeks from initial consultation to funding. Much faster than traditional alternatives.
You need to set up the trust BEFORE selling. Contact us immediately if you're planning to sell so we can protect your proceeds.
Yes. The note pays a fixed 6%, paid from the trust's assets, so payments depend on those assets. It is not FDIC insured. Your original principal is protected only if you buy the optional surety bond; without it, the firm refunds its fees if the trust ends short, which may not cover the whole gap. The 537 IST is structured to be IRS compliant under IRC Section 453, with 3,800+ transactions and no IST audits reported to date.
