This week, I sat down with Thomas Brachey, PMP, founder of Key Real Estate Consulting and one of the sharpest minds in tax-advantaged real estate. Thomas specializes in 1031 exchanges, mineral-rights strategies, and the overlooked investment structures most people never hear about.
Recognized as a 2025 Top Agent by BestAgents.US, Thomas blends deep technical training (PMP + Six Sigma Master Black Belt) with real-world execution. He's also the author of Basics of the 1031 Exchange and Leveraging Mineral Rights and the 1031 Exchange, two guides that simplify complex strategies for everyday investors.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to structure 1031 exchanges for long-term tax deferral and cash flow
- Why mineral rights are becoming a lucrative alternative asset class
- How retirement accounts (SDIRAs, Solo 401(k)s, etc.) tie into real estate and minerals
- Common mistakes and red flags and how to avoid them
A must-listen for investors exploring smarter, tax-efficient ways to scale.
Are you aware of the tax and cash-flow advantages a 1031 exchange can unlock when mineral rights are involved?
