Course Graduate Testimonials "I simply wanted to reach out and express just how happy I am to have attended the landlording crash course. The presentation and delivery of the information was flawless and I certainly have walked away with a greater understanding of the intricacies that govern being an above average landlord/manager." -Michael Murray “Mr. Quattrochi presented the course in a comprehensive and easy to follow step-by-step format. His PowerPoint presentation was provided to us, in a binder, as part of the course, and I took notes right on the pages. I find this part to be an effective tool because I can refer to it anytime I need to follow procedure. There’s more to it, but for a fun day, I personally, recommend this course to anyone in the Real Estate landlording/investing business, beginners in this profession as well as experience professionals.” -Edwin Rivera "This has really been a great deal. 2 books, 8 hours 'class' time, bound notes/slides -- impressive value!"&nbsp;-Dawn "I found this course extremely useful. It was completely professional and gave me a great new perspective."&nbsp;-Nicholas "I’m glad there was more in depth discussion than just reading off the slides. I appreciate the opportunity for questions and practice."&nbsp;-Crash Course Graduate "If I had done this 20 years ago. Oh my goodness!"&nbsp;-Crash Course Graduate "Great overview of being a landlord in MA"&nbsp;-Crash Course Graduate "Covered a lot of ground concisely, but still enough time for questions and insight.

Medford: 1031 Exchanges

A 1031 exchange is a tax-deferred exchange of real estate that will allow you to have more money to reinvest in rental real estate: you can sell your current building and buy a new one, deferring capital gains and depreciation recapture tax from the sale of the first property. We'll explain what this means. In a nutshell: Depending on the value of your property and whether or how long you have been depreciating it, you&nbsp;may be able to defer tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes. We will explain:<ul><li>How the 1031 exchange came to be.</li><li>Examples of things you can exchange.</li><li>Whether second homes and owner-occupied properties can be exchanged.</li><li>The detailed process including timelines.</li><li>When you may still have to pay some tax.</li><li>And much more.</li></ul>A Section 1031 exchange must be initiated before you sell and then executed along demanding timelines. You should learn how before you start. Attendees will leave knowing whether a 1031 exchange may be right for them and if so, how to go about it. Part of this event will be presented by&nbsp;Albino Caporale, Esq, President and CEO of the Exchange Authority, LLC. He has led the Exchange Authority since 2022. Prior to this he was the Executive Director of CATIC Exchange in Hartford. During his 10 years in the industry, he has overseen thousands of 1031 exchange transactions. He received his Juris Doctorate from the Quinnipiac University School of Law in North Haven, CT with a concentration in tax law. Our event host and emcee is&nbsp;Sage Jankowitz. Sage is the owner of Cambridge Sage Real Estate, a real estate agency providing leasing, multi-family sales, landlord consulting and development services in Cambridge, Somerville, Medford and Malden. Sage is an advertiser, service provider and MassLandlords volunteer with a deep passion for all things landlords and multi-family real estate.
