Wholesaling is a means that many investors, myself included, have used to jump into the world of real estate investing. As a wholesale investor, you don’t actually own properties. Rather, you find contracts and sell them, and then collect a finder’s fee. Wholesaling is a great way for someone with limited capital to kickstart their investing journey and get funds in the bank quickly.   On this episode of Investing in Real Estate, I’m interviewing Brent Daniels of Wholesaling Inc. Brent is a master wholesaler and expert cold caller who works with my mentor in wholesaling, Tom Krol.

A 1031 exchange is an incredibly powerful tool that allows an individual to save on taxes after the sale of a piece of real estate. This tax deferral program permits the investor to sell a real estate property and then reinvest the funds in a property of equal or greater value. Doing so allows the investor to keep more money in their pocket, and defer all capital gains taxes.   On this episode of Investing in Real Estate, Natali and I are sharing the six rules you must follow when conducting a 1031 exchange. We’ll discuss best practices for dealing with the IRS, and what you must do to successfully complete a 1031 exchange and defer taxes. We’ll also share more details about our favorite 1031 experts, and discuss resources you can use to learn more!
