Most owners of real property wish to preserve the value of their investments, and many accomplish that goal by exchanging properties under section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Although many property owners and their advisors have heard of section 1031, they may not be aware of all the nuances of section 1031. This book details the benefits of section 1031 and illustrates its application to typical and complex transactions. Using practical examples, the book demonstrates how taxes paid on the disposition of real property can erode a property owner's net worth and how doing a section 1031 exchange can prevent that erosion. The book describes several types of exchanges, including multi-party exchanges, deferred exchanges, reverse exchanges, improvements exchanges, and drop-and-swaps, and leads readers through each of those exchange structures with real-world examples and diagrams. The book also discusses related-party exchanges, exchanges of mixed-use property (i.e., property held for both business and personal use), and factors that may affect an investor's decision to acquire a DST, TIC interest, or triple-net property as replacement property.

"A few years ago I embarked on a project to teach my children everything I knew about investing and personal finance. As you read this book, you will immediately recognize it is unlike any other investment and personal finance book you have ever encountered. The book gets its title Financial Tales because the financial lessons revealed are all told in the form of tales. We teach through tales because throughout history our greatest teachers have taught through stores, fables and parables. It is a powerful way to learn because it encourages immediate, positive and long-lasting action. In doing so, we are able to relate to the stories, either personally or by observation of others and thus gain practical skills. My goal today is to demystify a complex topic and for you to gain access to the same investment and personal finance knowledge previously reserved for family, close friends and clients. I hope you share it with all those dear to you." -Carlos Sera, author of Financial Tales These tales will also help you: Develop a sustainable relationship with money Understand financial markets Manage your investments intelligently and by yourself Identify and hire expert advisors if you choose to work with one Work productively with your expert advisor Create a game winning financial team Retire intelligently and with abundance Prepare for the unexpected Learn accountability and develop good habits Pick the right college and insurance policy Overcome the biggest obstacle to investment success Learn to say "no" when you want to say "yes"
