The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (signed July 4, 2025) permanently locked in Section 1031 with no caps or limits, restored 100% bonus depreciation for properties placed in service after January 19, 2025, and made Opportunity Zones a permanent program. These changes create massive opportunities – but only if you understand the exact rules, timelines, and strategies.

A California investor contacted us on day 12 of his 45-day identification period with a $2.4M relinquished property. Our team quickly identified three replacement options that qualified for full 100% bonus depreciation, structured the deal to eliminate boot, and layered in a partial Opportunity Zone allocation. Result: $187,000 in additional tax savings – all from guidance that cost him nothing.
Many websites offer generic checklists or webinars, but they can’t review your specific transaction, run custom pro-formas, or coordinate with your QI in real time. When mistakes happen (missed deadlines, taxable boot, improper identification), the IRS doesn’t care that the advice was “free” – you still pay the taxes. Our guidance is free because we earn our keep when you close successfully through our marketplace.
Whether you’re just starting to explore a sale or already under contract, the smartest move you can make in 2026 is to tap into expert guidance that costs nothing upfront.
