1031 Exchange - A tool for every savvy real estate agent, 2007-07-26
The 1031 exchange is a tool I use personally and with clients. This is a good book to get the basics and examples of how to do this type of proceedure and the Starker (reverse) exchange. The book is a little dry and is packed with a lot of information. Don't sit down to read it unless you have a pen, notebook, calculator, and a good chunk of time. A 1031 is a really great tool, especially if you are a real estate agent.

Tax-Free Exchanges - In Depth, 2006-11-10
An excellent text on the 1031 transaction. Long on examples and step by step explanations, this book will explain the tricks and traps of 1031 real estate transactions.

At times more than you want to know, the book finds its balance and leaves you with an in depth understanding of how to use the tax code to your advantage. It allowed me to question our intermediary about some aspects of our 1031 transaction without seeming foolish. If you are looking for a book that will raise your confidence in dealing with a complex tax free exchange this is the one.

Focused on deal making, 2006-07-19
Do not buy this book if you are looking for an intro to the basics of 1031 exchanges. It is not a "how-to" book. You should buy this book if you want ideas and examples of how to use exchanging in non-standard ways to make deals happen. If you want to expand your thinking on what is flexible when you start talking terms on a deal then this is a good book for you.

Good starting point for investors exploring 1031 Exchanges., 2006-07-13
This book offers a basic introduction to tax-deferred exchanges in a simple format. Readers could benefit from more relevant examples; for example focusing far less on barter-for-property and more on resources and likely issues with a delayed exchange.
