Both seasoned and new real estate investors have a powerful tool: the 1031 tax-deferred exchange.

The only language I can find is as follows: "Short-term rental means an accommodation where, in exchange for compensation, a residential dwellingunit is provided for lodging for a period of time not to exceed 30 consecutive days."

Hey, question for anyone familiar with 1031 exchanges.

I have been toiling over investing in DST 1031 Exchange vs cashing out by paying capital gains.

I saw an episode of American Greed this weekend, regarding a company called Remington Financial Group that charged an up-front fee to entrepreneurs in exchange for helping them find funding for their ventures.  

There are some wholesalers out there that do a killing, eventually, they spend the extra time and hundreds to get a license in exchange for time in the slammer.

Since the product is still so new, they've been granting beta testers free access to the product's functionality in exchange for feedback and bug reports.

@James McGovern - my wife was in attendance and she and I own 20+ properties, a huge office building, have done multiple 1031 exchanges, Segregation studies, flips, private money, creative financing etc.  

Real estate has unique tax benefits, such as depreciation and 1031 exchanges, which can help lower taxable income.

I would like to sell a rental property and do a 1031 exchange to buy a property from my mother's estate (I am a beneficiary).
