The Virtual Home Show has been moved to February 28 – March 4 to give the exhibitors more time to create their videos and write ups.
The Home Show magazine will be published in the Gazette and distributed to area businesses February 27.
The Opening Home Show on CBS 2 KGAN will air February 26 at 6:30 pm. It will then be uploaded to the Home Show website, the HBA website and our YouTube channel Feb. 27.
More than 2,100 users visited The Home Show website over 3,000 times for 7,642 page views. Not bad for our first year and we’re expecting higher numbers this year as we’ll advertise on tv, radio, newsprint and social media.

Section 1031 Lunch N Learn
2022-03-01 12:00 - 13:00 | Greater Iowa City Area HBA Conference Room, 11 South Gilbert St, Iowa City, IA, 52240, United States
People pay Federal and State taxes when they have gain/profit on the sale of investment property. However, in an even trade (or if the investor trades their investment property in for more-expensive property) there is no income/profits which could be used to pay taxes.
Under some circumstances, investors can use a “Section 1031 exchange” to defer taxes on gains they earn from investment property; however, the IRS restricts these types of exchanges to “like-kind” property, and also establishes conditions (required actions, property value thresholds, time deadlines, etc.) which must be met in order to qualify for tax deferral.
Key topics we’ll discuss include:

Why an investor would use a Section 1031 exchange
Mechanics of several types of Section 1031 exchanges
Ways to avoid common pitfalls during the 1031 process to maximize an investor’s chances to defer taxes on a purchase/sale of investment property.

Karl Sigwarth is an attorney in Bradley and Riley, PC’s Iowa City office with a practice focused on transactional (real estate and corporate) law. A graduate of Harvard Law School, Karl has a great deal of experience with real estate transactions and is looking forward to talking with the group.
