Ken Tharp’s Summary

A broad diversity of real estate-related experiences over the past thirty years has given me the background and knowledge to help other investors and business owners through the process of completing a Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange for property they wish to sell. Deferring capital gain taxes of property sales can result in an enormous benefit to an investor, allowing that person to put a much greater amount of money to work in new property than if s/he had paid taxes on the gain. It really makes my day when I can help someone realize the powerful benefit that the government allows investors. It's one of the best tax strategies that remains available to us!
