The Tail Wagging The Dog

With tax deadlines coming up and only a few months remaining in the year, we are getting a lot of tax related questions at our development company Y Street Capital. These questions are often coming from prospective investors who are looking at our investment offerings.

As always, we don’t offer tax advice. Most importantly, we advise our investors to never let the tax tail wag the investment dog. What that means is that we believe investors should make investments in sound investments first and foremost. If there is a tax benefit on top of the sound investment, then that’s the icing on the cake. But if the focus is entirely on the tax, then the investor runs the risk of putting icing on a mud pie. We don’t want that.
