Seminar Topics
The TFS Properties seminars will teach attendees about 1031 Exchanges and how savvy investors can use them to defer their capital gains taxes. 1031 Exchanges derive their name from IRS Section 1031. The code lays out specific rules that investors must follow to qualify for deferring capital gains taxes. These rules include timing, reporting, and special rules for depreciable properties. The rules permit several different types of exchanges, each of which has different procedures and regulations.
The 1031 provision is primarily for business and investment properties, although investors can use it for vacation homes in certain narrow circumstances. The use of 1031 Exchanges can help investors build wealth because the deferred capital gains tax allows investors to free up capital and use it for the replacement property.
The TFS Properties seminars will also cover different out-of-state investment opportunities. It will also provide a real estate outlook for the remainder of 2022. In particular, the seminar will discuss where investors can find high cash-flowing properties and the general state of the real estate market.
Current Trends
Many large companies are buying huge portfolios of single-family rental properties, says Rusty Tweed, president of TFS Properties. “This activity is driving down investor returns,” he says. The TFS Properties Seminar will reveal where investors can still find deals with “high cash flow” and how to acquire these profitable properties.
“Today’s seller’s market delivers record prices for investment properties, ” says Rusty Tweed. “However, for every property an investor sells during a peak market, they also buy one in the peak market as well. In Southern California, finding a reasonably priced, high-cash flow property with high cap rates is difficult.”
Most of the properties the firm finds are outside California. All are within the United States.
