Take The Guess Work Out Of Your Wholesale Property Purchases
We have become very concerned by the number of readers writing to us asking how to determine which are the wholesalers(*) that can be trusted. Why are we concerned? Because when we dig a little deeper, we realize that they are buying properties based solely on the recommendation of the wholesaler. They're guessing which ones to trust, and which houses to buy. That's a dangerous way to do business.

Tax Deferred Exchanges of Investment and Business Real Estate
Most Realtors, Attorneys and CPAs do not have sufficient expertise to guide you in a legitimate and defensible tax deferred exchange.
The key here is defensible, as the IRS will usually audit the tax deferred transaction and if it's done correctly so that it is easily defensible you will sail right through the audit for little or no money.
Your personal tax profile and that of your other business and family identities must be factored in the decisions. It may be necessary to legally refigure, adjust, and compartmentalize your purchase or sale - and document that appropriately, BEFORE you begin to put any part of the transaction in writing. Planning is legally done BEFORE and if it is done after the transaction you can be liable for fraud.
The IRS does not take kindly to fraud especially regarding real estate.
