Welcome to another episode of How Real Estate Changed My Life! In this episode, we’re joined by LuAnn Blough, a Regional Development Director at Exchange Resource Group, LLC.
She’s on a mission to make the 1031 exchange simple, safe, and accessible—so everyday investors can defer taxes legally, preserve equity, and scale from one door to many.
Luann breaks down the rules (in plain English), shares real-world examples, and shows you how to avoid the costly mistakes that can derail an exchange—covering basis, boot, debt, ID methods (3-Property vs. 200% Rule), timelines (45/180 days), reverse exchanges, DSTs, TICs, and more.
If you’re a landlord, agent, or curious investor who wants to trade up without triggering taxes, this episode is packed with practical steps, checklists, and pro tips.
