Sell Faster When You Understand The Buyers Mindset

  When most sellers list their home for sale the first thing they think about is how much will I get and that is usually followed by how soon will I get the money. It's certainly understandable that those two concerns are, most often, top of mind. After all, you're likely selling your home to buy another one or invest the money in something else.

     Here's some great news for the thousands of real estate investors and brokers who use "Section 1031" (ten thirty-one) tax-deferred real exchanges every year: Congress has backed off its latest plan to narrow the definition of "like kind" for real estate swaps.
      That's important because under current tax law, real estate investors have broad flexibility in choosing properties and structuring exchanges. For example, they can exchange a rental house for farmland, an apartment building for a commercial shopping strip. They can even exchange office buildings for mineral rights.
