COVID-19 UPDATE: Where Can Small Business Seek Help?

There is no question about it that the coronavirus (COVID-19) shock has had devastating effects on our economy; the likes of which, we have never witnessed. New travel restrictions, shelter-in-place orders, and social distancing measures have left business owners scrambling to figure out how to run their company with diminished to zero cash flow.

The Cost Seg/1031 Exchange Combo is Even More Important Under Tax Reform

Under the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, the benefits of combining cost segregation and Section 1031 exchanges have become an even more important tax strategy for real estate investors. With the recently passed TCJA, the rules for Section 1031 exchanges have been modified and depreciation rules have been expanded.
