Great time this week at Liz Fernandez’s “Stand Up for Her” event at Bat Box in Addison. Glad to help sponsor it alongside Dylan Grayson & Scott Friend while spending time with a strong group of brokers, commercial real estate vendors, & developers running deals across the Dallas Fort Worth market. I have to say the indoor batting cage setup was a refreshing change from the usual run of the mill networking events. Instead of the standard cocktail shuffle, people were actually loosening up, taking swings, & having candid conversations. & allegedly some critiquing of people's batting techniques. 🤫 One topic that kept coming up in conversations with investors & real estate professionals is mineral rights. As the real estate & energy markets continue to intersect, more serious investors are starting to keep this asset class on their radar & in their portfolio. If you’re active in real estate, development, or capital allocation, I’m curious: 👉 Are deeded mineral rights already part of your strategy, or is it something you haven’t looked at yet? Either way, always good connecting with sharp people in the DFW market. 🔔 If you want to talk through it privately, reach out & book a conversation with me at bettercalltommy.com #1031Exchange #1031Exchanges #1033Exchange #1031Exchanges #SelfDirectedIRA #SelfDirectedIRAs #SDIRA #Solo401k #MineralRights #WorkingInterest #DallasMeetup

Did You Know? More than 60% of #1031exchanges fail every year. The main culprit? Lack of planning. Too often, investors wait until they’re already in escrow before considering their options. I explain why successful exchanges start much earlier—with clear planning and a conversation with a CPA on the SF Commercial Property Conversations Podcast with Bruce Bean: youtu.be/n_kfEX8_bVU #commercialproperty #cre #propertyinvesting #taxdeferral

One of the most common myths I hear online and in social media about #1031exchanges is that you only need to reinvest the profit—the gain— from the sale of your relinquished property to defer taxes. Not true! Read the truth: svn-best1031online.com/1031-… #CRE #realestateinvesting #capitalgainstax

Just wrapped up the ELITE RIA & Family Office Investment Opportunities Summit in Miami. It was an absolute privilege to sponsor & be surrounded by a high-caliber group of dealmakers. We had multi-family real estate moguls, savvy fund managers, opportunity zone specialists, top-tier self-directed plan custodians, & even medical procedure financiers in the room. One thing that blew me away was the audience’s depth of knowledge & interest in deeded mineral properties. I showcased the deeded mineral property asset class, emphasizing how perfectly it fits 1031 exchanges & the tremendous value it can deliver inside self-directed IRAs & solo 401(k) plans. The response was incredible. These folks were not only curious, they were well-versed & hungry to learn more. When you see experienced investors this engaged, you know you’re onto something big. Our dealflow thrives because we partner with professionals across the board: Family Offices Fund Managers Qualified Self-Directed Plan Custodians 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediaries Real Estate Brokers & Agents Business Brokers Estate Planners Financial Advisors (CPAs, CFPs, etc) Municipalities I also want to highlight leaders who are making a difference beyond the deal. Huge respect to Olympians @idlette & Charles Johnson Jr. for the work they’re doing to boost financial literacy among young adults, especially athletes. Empowering the next generation with money smarts is a mission I applaud. Looking forward to exploring how we can work in tandem. Big thanks to Neil Greene of @JABOYProduction & @TheCoachJimmy of WellCrafted Story for giving me a platform at this summit. Your support & hard work made this event a success. I’m equally excited about what’s next. Looking forward to working with Raniero Gimeno, MBA, AIF® of Inspira Financial to expand our reach through their qualified self-directed IRA platform. Together, we’ll make alternative investments like these more accessible to investors who truly get it. Shout-out to Jack Hollander, Gabby Woodworth, Charles Sachs, CFA, CFP®, Brian Armstrong, Justine Avoudikpon, & so many others who made this summit one for the books. Each of you brought something unique to the table. It’s clear why you’re all leaders in your fields.

Yesterday I had the chance to meet the legend himself, @BobKnakal, at his office in New York City. Let me just say this… The Map Room is next level. It’s not just a wall of deals. It’s a war room built off precision, grit, & an obsession with understanding every inch of New York City real estate. What blew me away was a story of a competitor telling a client there were only 8 comps. Bob’s team found 44. That’s not a small edge. That’s the difference between shooting in the dark & walking in with night vision. When you’re manually mapping inventory at that level, the marketplace rewards you. Big thanks to Christopher Maier, Eric Clark, Tom Truong, Tom Crumpton, & Sean Patrick Murphy for lining up the intro. Excited to dive deeper with the NYC brokerage community into 1031 Exchange volume, Self-Directed IRA & Solo 401(k) clients, & how our Texas-based, tax-advantaged, cashflowing deeded mineral properties can add real horsepower to their pipeline. @BKRealEstateAdv #1031Exchange #1031Exchanges #SelfDirectedIRA #SelfDirectedIRAs #SDIRA #Solo401k #MineralRights

🔥 Real talk for all the Commercial Pros, Residential Hustlers, & Business Brokerage Strategists If you’re serious about playing at a higher level & if you’re the kind of broker or agent who wants to bring not just value but strategy to your clients, then you better be on this next DEAL EXCHANGE call. 📅 April 15, 2025 🕤 11:30 AM EST / 10:30 AM CST / 9:30 AM MST / 8:30 AM PST 💻 Zoom ID: 407 625 6098 (No password. Just show up.) Register for Free: tickettailor.com/events/agen… I’m fired up to be a guest speaker, bringing the heat on how 1031 Exchanges can unlock massive passive wealth for your clients (& your own book of business) through deeded mineral properties. Here’s the truth: ✅ Deeded mineral rights are real property ✅ They qualify for 1031 like-kind exchanges ✅ They qualify for Self-Directed IRAs & Solo 401(k)s ✅ They generate mailbox money with zero tenants, toilets, or trash ✅ They have no insurance or maintenance requirements ✅ & the IRS depletion allowance is a tax advantage you’re not hearing about on the main stage For brokers & agents: imagine offering clients a tax-deferral solution that’s hands-off, high-yield, & totally outside the box. This is how you separate yourself from the pack. For business brokers: this is a next-level strategy to stack more value into exit plans, rollover funds into cash-flowing assets, & build out that advisory rep. Big-time shoutout to the @eXpCommercial crew bringing this to the forefront: 🏆 Rich Enderlin - appreciate you hosting & curating high-value rooms 🏆 Eric Clark, CCIM, Keith Andrews CCIM, Tom Truong, James Huang, Christopher Maier MBA - respect to all of you & so many others for pushing this industry forward This isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about equipping professionals with niche knowledge that wins loyalty, delivers results, & builds legacy. 🧠 Learn it. Share it. Close with it. Let’s go the extra mile for the clients who trust us with their biggest moves. Tap in. Level up. See you April 15th. @KeyREConsulting #1031Exchange #1031Exchanges #SelfDirectedIRA #SelfDirectedIRAs #SDIRA #Solo401k #MineralRights

What a night. Last night at the Tower Club of Dallas our annual Christmas party was nothing short of phenomenal. To everyone who came out, thank you for making it special. Big shoutout to Ron Bruno & Crystal Parkin — the real MVPs — who put in the work behind the scenes to pull this together. Coordination like that doesn’t happen by accident, & it showed. The truth is, it’s easy to find excuses to get together, but last night wasn’t about excuses. It was about celebrating the wins — the big ones, the small ones, & the ones still in progress — with the people who made them happen. This is more than a business. It’s a family. & when the dust settles at the end of the year, it’s gatherings like this that remind us why we do what we do. Appreciate every one of you who showed up & contributed to an incredible year. @KeyREConsulting #1031Exchange #1031Exchanges #SelfDirectedIRA #SelfDirectedIRAs #SDIRA #Solo401k
