About this listen

In this episode, David Moore of Equity Advantage covers the complexities of 1031 Exchange closing cost deductions, providing a lighthearted reminder that one wrong step can derail your entire transaction.

  • Deducting closing costs
  • Capital improvements before sale
  • Handling “boot” and avoiding unexpected tax consequences
  • Creating liens to recover funds legally
  • Working with tax professionals to mitigate exposure

David shares real-world examples, like a client who spent $50K prepping a property for sale, and discusses the gray areas of what’s deductible or what could come back to bite you.
