Quotes:

"Why not have something like the deferred sales trust in which you have no timing restrictions? So there's no 45,000 180. There's no debt requirement replacement. NTTS can go there. Separate ways. Partnerships can separate. It also works for businesses in cryptocurrency and primary home." - Brett Swarts

"So unless you tell me Joseph if I want to buy a boat in my house and I want to live off the money we can't do that. To be tax-deferred needs to be for business purposes or investment purposes." - Brett Swarts
