How To Do A Section 1031 Like Kind Exchange: Simultaneous, Delayed, Reverse, Construction

Excellent! Author has a knack at making each word count. Perfect introduction book to the major concepts. Want to be a real estate investor? A must read early in your journey.

Lots of words, little content.

As a professional in this world, I have never read such a clear and articulate explanation of the Section 1031 process. I ordered four books on this subject area and this one was clearly the best in my opinion. For these books to be useful they must be up to date, not all printed resources are. One Loophole book was over 15 years old and never updated to my knowledge for the latest revisions to the tax code. In fact the pages were yellowing from old age, but being sold as if it was new and up to date. I promptly returned the book. This book has been updated to 2020 interpretations of the most recent IRS rulings and court proceedings. Factual, no nonsense, no ambiguous waffling. Clear explanation of potential pitfalls and warnings of the scammers out there taking advantage of the less well informed. Absolutely a must buy if you are even contemplating and wondering if this tax/investment strategy is worth considering. The introduction alone establishes the Ethos of the writer and his writing style. His experience and knowledge illustrates clearly he has sat on every side of the table. From being a Tax examiner for the IRS, Lawyer, former owner of a title company, approved Title Attorney for several national Title Insurance Underwriters, the list goes on. The bottom line is I do not believe there is a better resource published to guide you through the 1031 process. Finally the book makes its clear you should never attempt such a transaction without the proper experienced professionals on your team. The book will allow you to evaluate effectively the professionals you invite onto your team and help ensure a satisfactory outcome. One that does not draw attention from the IRS because you have followed the rules and stand clearly on the side of prudent caution in your execution of the transaction. Well done Michael Lantrip

Easy read, good info. Early on the book promised discussion on 1031 between sole proprietor llc and private parties but did not deliver, otherwise recommended. Good examples.

Highest hopes fully met with this book. Easy read. Easily searched. Great review, clarifying, learned some new things. Spent less than an hour with this book extracting specific content relevant to my tax effort. Few post-its now tab places for reference. This one stays in the office. Generous with extra content relative to the real estate investor or any home owner interested or open to the wealth building utility of real estate. Author has no ego and is simply interested in educating. One section I read included certain details that were also on the immediately preceeding page but allowed the section to be read with understanding if you had not just read the previous page. This was not onerous but very helpful. Most authors would tell themselves that the reader should have read the prior page if he wants to understand a concept. This author is interested in providing a tool that efficiently informs/educates and has nothing to prove. Competency is evident. I'm too busy to write reviews. Yes, I said it. ...but I took time to write this one.
