In this short monologue, a real‑estate investor recounts a negotiation where the seller claims the property’s depreciation has already been taken, eliminating any tax recapture for the buyer. The seller offers to sell the property for $300,000, noting he originally purchased it for $7 million, and agrees to a partial‑release arrangement with no money down, no interest, and payment deferred until the buyer can sell off parcels. The investor highlights that the property comes with complete blueprints and permits, requiring only engineering work to finalize the development. The speaker uses this anecdote to illustrate a creative deal structure that leverages tax positioning, seller flexibility, and existing entitlement work.

Now what do you want to do? He said, well, I've already done all the depreciation on it. I can't. I can't recapture any of those gains. He says, I'll sell it to you. $300,000. I bought it for seven, but I'll sell it to you for three. And I says, okay, well, can you wait until I sell it off? Which is called a partial release. No money down. Partial release. He said, yeah, sure, no problem. No interest. So I was like, hell, yeah, it had. It had blueprints and permit blueprints and permittable blueprints for it. And all I had to do was get the engineering done.
