I'm not sure how you conclude that. And you're inserting "ethics" into a bank's business decision? He writes like that because he's part of the system. It's so entrenched it's all self preservation an

It's 500k of tax free gains for married couples. How is that, or even the 250k individual comical? Also, that's the gain that has no taxes AFTER fees/commissions. It does not get "eaten away". You can also do 1031 e
