MAREI Master Class: Scale Faster with 1031 Exchanges
Every dollar you lose to taxes is a dollar that stops compounding.
The 1031 exchange is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools in real estate — and one of the most misunderstood. Get one detail wrong and the tax bill you were trying to defer comes due immediately.
On Saturday, June 27th, we’re hosting a full-day online masterclass with Steve Wolterman — licensed attorney, Certified Exchange Specialist, and founder of 1031 Federal Exchange — to walk you through exactly how to execute a 1031 the right way.
Steve brings 20+ years of real estate law and exchange experience, plus the CES designation — the only nationally recognized credential in the 1031 industry. This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a working masterclass.
What you'll learn:
- What a 1031 exchange is and how it actually works
- Which properties qualify — and which don’t
- The 45-day and 180-day deadlines that can make or break your exchange
- Why you can easily owe more in taxes than you receive in cash at closing
- The role of the Qualified Intermediary — and why you can’t touch the money yourself
- Reverse exchanges and improvement exchanges — advanced tactics most investors never use
- The “Swap ’til You Drop” strategy for building generational wealth
- Common mistakes that cause exchanges to fail
- State-to-state considerations, case studies, and checklists

Bonus Pop Up Training:How to NOT Go Broke on Your Next Rehab The Real-World Art of Estimating Repair Costs Accurately
Think a rehab will cost $25,000 and it costs $45,000? There goes your profit. Learn how to estimate repairs right and avoid costly mistakes in today’s unforgiving market.
Learn The Real-World Art of Estimating Repair Costs Accurately
The days when you could get away with bad numbers and be saved by a fast-rising market are OVER.
And that includes underestimating repair costs.
Whether you’re wholesaling, rehabbing, buying rentals, lending money, or evaluating notes, accurate repair estimates can be the difference between a profitable deal and an expensive lesson.
So we’ve asked Jerry Fink who has renovated more than 100 rental and retail properties to share his insight and his cost cheat sheet on Tuesday the 30ths.
Join Jerry for about 90 Minutes on Zoom to Learn
- How experienced investors estimate repairs BEFORE making an offer (Hint: it’s definitely NOT “all rehabs cost $65 a square foot”)
- The differences between estimating repairs for rentals, bread-and-butter rehabs, and move-up homes
- Why smart investors assume professional labor and permits, even when others don’t
- How to stay current on labor and material costs as markets change
- Real-world costs for roofs, gutters, windows, drywall, kitchens, baths, flooring, HVAC systems, and more
Members and non-members are welcome, whether you’re looking at your first deal or your hundredth, and it’s free.
Oh, and…
Every attendee gets Jerry’s 2026 cost estimation cheat sheet, with sample prices for repairs and upgrades in over 40 categories!
