And so for me, it works by understanding who the person is and what their goals are.

And reverse engineering where they are today to get them to where they want to be in the future.

So, for example, if you were doing a deal and you were buying some real estate, you know, you may want to buy it.

And in your mind, you're like, oh, this is just a simple buy.

I'm just going to give them the money in exchange back for the property.

well there may be a more efficient way to do that so we can take advantage of you know tax deductions tax credits things like that so my job is to set up that paradigm for the client so they have options in front of them whether they're selling a property and doing a 1031 into another one they may not want to get back into property management management they want they want to do a 721 up read exchange or a dst exchange

Or they just want to cash out.

So, you know, there are a lot of different things to talk through.

And then the other option is they could always do a slow man's 1031, which is also called a lazy man's 1031, as long as you're in the same calendar year.

So that's my job on a daily basis.

Other than that, I do a lot of mergers and acquisitions.

I do a lot of business dispute stuff, trying to sort out partners when they're sideways with each other, how to pull them apart.

And again, I'm heavily...

involved in real estate on a day to day basis and a lot of tax planning for clients.

Now, that's my day job.

On the other side of this, I'm also a real estate investor.

My wife and I own about 20 pieces of property.

And, you know, that that's kind of our passion.

We have properties, Montana, Tennessee, you know, Middle Tennessee, East Tennessee, Southeast Tennessee.

Clearly I'm from Tennessee, so I know the area and that's why I like to invest here.
