734 | Don’t Let Tax Fear Decide Your Investment Future
Friday, 13 February, 2026
Is the fear of capital gains tax quietly keeping you stuck in an investment you would never buy again today? In this episode of LIFE’S Inside Track with Ken and Yetta Dekker, we pull capital gains out of the “monster under the bed” category and put it back where it belongs: as a math + timing conversation. We unpack the simple truth most people miss—you only pay capital gains when you’ve actually gained, and even then, the taxable portion is often misunderstood. We also talk through why “I don’t want to pay tax” can become an expensive mindset, especially if it keeps you holding an underperforming property or avoiding investing altogether. Then we tee up what comes next: smart exit thinking, clearer options, and how to make decisions from wisdom instead of worry. If you want to build wealth wisely through real estate, this conversation will help you pause, think, and choose with more confidence. Watch now on the DekkerTeam YouTube channel, and if your situation feels foggy, schedule a clarity call so we can map your next wise step together. Quick question: If tax fear disappeared for one minute... what would you actually do with your current investment—hold, refinance, improve it, or reposition it?
