L.A. Wildfire Rebuilding Drags On With Just 1,320 Permits Issued—as Victims Turn to ADUs

Urge Your Legislator To OPPOSE AB 1157!

My letter to the State Legislature:

Dear Assemblymembers,

Time is short so I will be brief.

Areas like Los Angeles and San Francisco have had established Rent Stabilization Ordinances for decades. Those rent control initiatives were meant to keep rent affordable and to reduce homelessness. Decades later, these areas are known for the highest rental rates and highest rates of homelessness in the country.

Facts are facts: rent control does the opposite of what it intends to do. It hurts housing providers. It hurts renters.

AB 1157, however well meaning it may be, will only contribute to the State’s housing problems not aid them.

I urge all of you to strongly OPPOSE AB 1157.

Thank you for your attention.

-Andres Segovia

The Reality of 1031-Exchanges and A Piece of Advice. Beware Before You Complete an Exchange!

🔑 Busting 1031 Exchange Myths! 💼

There are many misconceptions about 1031 exchanges. Here’s the truth:

93% of IPX’s exchanges get completed, but it’s okay if they don’t. They tell their clients, if you don’t find something you love, don’t buy it just to save on taxes. Paying a bit more for a property you really want is fine, but don’t settle. Most are paying market value, not overpaying just to complete the exchange. Make smart, informed decisions! 🏡✨

With skyrocketing real estate prices, how can our kids afford to buy homes? Some savvy baby boomers are stepping in to help. Recently, we’ve seen parents sell off investment properties and use the proceeds to buy homes for their kids. The kids pay rent, and the parents hold the property as an investment.

✨ The Perks: They can set up a trust, ensuring the property becomes their child’s primary residence in the future. Combining tax codes like Section 1031 with Section 121 allows for some smart financial planning.
