The Real-World Guide to 1031 Exchanges with Damian Gallagher (Ep. 88)

The Real-World Guide to 1031 Exchanges with Damian Gallagher (Ep. 88)

If you own investment property in California, you may have wondered how to handle the built-up gain without losing a significant portion to taxes. 

Robert sits down with Damian Gallagher, Senior Vice President at Blue Rock, for a grounded, practical walkthrough of 1031 exchanges and DSTs. The conversation opens with the history of 1031 rules, then moves into what actually happens when you sell, how timelines work, and why so many investors struggle with the 45-day identification window. 

Damian also explains DSTs in plain language, including when they might help reduce hands-on management and how they fit into long-term estate planning.

What to expect:

  • How like-kind rules truly work
  • The 45-day and 180-day deadlines are explained in real terms
  • When DSTs may help simplify life for aging investors
  • The lesser-known 1033 disaster exchange option
  • And more!
