1031 & self-directed IRA class offerings in Phoenix

1031 Corporation will once again team up with Entrust Arizona for our three hour class Tax Deferred Real Estate Investing (AZ course #C0149) next Thursday January 14th and Friday, January 15th in Phoenix. I, along with Timarie McClendon of Entrust, will provide three hours of instruction on how you might benefit with tax savings on your real estate investments.

Both classes are offered from 10 AM to 1 PM and a free lunch (courtesy of Magnus Title) will be provided. The class on Thursday will be at Realty Executives' 36th and Campbell office. There is a $15 fee for attendees that are not Realty Executives agents. HomeSmart is hosting a class on Friday, January 15th that is also open to real estate professionals and investors. There is no fee for that class.

This is an educational seminar and not a marketing pitch. We benefit by getting our name out and you benefit from getting educated on 1031 exchanges and self-directed IRAs. The class is accredited by the Arizona Department of Real Estate for three (3) hours Legal Issues Continuing Education for Arizona licensed real estate professionals.

If you or someone you know is interested in learning about ways to invest in real estate on a tax-deferred basis, please encourage them to join us. It's credit toward your license renewal, a good education and a free lunch. Can't beat that deal!

Please contact Shari Griffin at 480.329.1335 or by emailing her at shari.griffin@magnustitle.com if you would like to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!

1031 exchange Real Estate radio show

This Wednesday, June 24th from noon to 1 PM Pacific time, 1031 Corporation will be on the air live at KFNN 1510 in Phoenix. Carol Croft and I are guests on a show hosted by Entrust Arizona's JP Dahdah and Timarie McClendon.

We plan on discussing how 1031 exchanges provide a way to defer capital gains taxes and preserve more of your principal in your real estate investments. We will also be discussing some recent trends in the industry and provide some information on the legislative landscape as it relates to Qualified Intermediaries.

You can listen to the show live here or, if you've missed this post or are not available at that time, Entrust Arizona provides a link to past shows they've hosted.

We hope you'll take the time to listen and, perhaps, increase your financial literacy as it relates to this important tax strategy!

Also, if you have a real estate license in Arizona, we are offering, along with Entrust Arizona, Four Hour Continuing Education course on Thursday, June 25th from 11 AM to 3 PM. We even provide lunch! The class is in Entrust's state-of-the-art facility at 20860 N Tatum Blvd, Ste 240 in Phoenix.

The first 2 hours is our class offering, Everything You Wanted to Know About 1031 Exchanges. In addition to providing the basic rules of IRC Section 1031, this class provides a basic understanding of the Reverse and Improvement exchange process. We also discuss the role of the Qualified Intermediary and investor motivations for a 1031 exchange. This class also highlights strategies involving the section 121 Primary Residence rules used in combination with a 1031 exchange.

The second 2 hours will be Entrust's class, Show Me The Money! How to Buy Real Estate with Your IRA/401k. Did you know you could invest in real estate with your IRA? Do your clients? You can even get a mortgage with your IRA or partner together with other retirement accounts or individuals. Your choices are endless. This workshop teaches real estate agents & brokers how to tap into the trillions of dollars available within retirement plans. The class teaches attendees the important elements of Self-Directed IRAs so they can add this hot topic to their current marketing plan. You will walk away with a clear understanding of how you can position yourself in a true advisory role with your clients.

1031 Exchange Classes and Continuing Education

1031 Corporation Exchange Professionals provides continuing education classes for Realtors, CPAs and Attorneys. We work with broker offices, title companies and real estate, accounting and legal trade associations to provide Continuing Education credit for 1031 exchange classes in Colorado (and very soon, Arizona and California). In conjunction with a couple self-directed IRA providers, we also provide a broader, tax deferred real estate investing class.

While many states now have a prescribed minimum requirements list that includes ethics and other "core" classes, a class involving 1031 exchange options, rules and procedures is a great way to add an interesting twist to your class offerings. It allows participants to hear something about a topic with which they may not be as familiar. It attracts agents, business associates or investor clients that might not normally attend a class offering and gives something of value to the agency or firm sponsors the course.

Carol Croft, Larry Jensen and I combine to offer our expertise and real life experiences to provide valuable insights into new strategies to defer capital gains. Carol has over fourteen years experience and she is a Certified Exchange Specialist. She's performed thousands of exchanges on behalf of our clients and has a number of real life examples that provide practical knowledge about how one goes about completing an exchange. Larry, as a Certified Public Accountant, is extremely knowledgeable about the technical and legal basis for many exchange strategies and concepts. While he is a former accounting firm partner and has more than 30 years accounting experience, he provides much more than a dry scholarly approach. Pretty interesting stories too...oh....me? I am just a former banker of seventeen years that really likes mixing real estate, financial concepts and saving money on taxes! All three of us love thinking "outside the box" and coming up with possible solutions to the most complex of 1031 exchange scenearios.

Our most popular class, a course titled Everything Your Ever Wanted to Know About 1031 Exchanges (I know, pretty lofty title, LOL) provides the basics of a like kind exchange in a format that allows interaction - all while informing in a very easy to follow, two hour format. We typically even work with a sponsor that partners by providing the facility or perhaps lunch. No better way to bring in a crowd than with free food! In these economic times, inexpensive, one-on-one marketing opportunities are effective. They provide the ability to converse face-to-face with those individuals that are actively positioning themselves to benefit during the next recovery cycle.
