property exchange: Free Spreadsheet to Learn Why Your Clients Should Consider a Tax-Deferred Exchange - 03/07/08 03:49 PM
Do you want an easy way to learn why you and your clients should consider a Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange?

While I believe that remains true, a letter I received yesterday from Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) raises a question or two in my mind.
