We've spent the last few episodes talking about "The Exit" - using 1031 exchanges and DSTs to sell without tax. But what if the best move isn't to sell? What if the best move is to extract your wealth while keeping the asset? In this episode of the 5-Minute PRIME Podcast, host Martin Maxwell executes the pivot from "Exit Strategy" to "Liquidity Strategy." We are opening the playbook on "Strategic Refinancing," the exact mechanism the ultra-wealthy use to live on tax-free debt while their assets appreciate. Tune in to learn:

The "Accession to Wealth" Secret: Why the IRS treats a $200,000 loan completely differently than a $200,000 paycheck (and why you pay $0 tax on it).
The "Tracing" Trap: The obscure Treasury Regulation (§ 1.163-8T) that can disqualify your tax deductions if you put your refinance money in the wrong bank account.
The S-Corp Landmine: Why holding real estate in an S-Corp (instead of an LLC) turns a tax-free refinance into a massive taxable event.
The 2025 "Golden Window": Why locking in liquidity now—before the 40% Bonus Depreciation cliff on December 31st—is the ultimate year-end power move.
