First American Exchange Company President Julie Baird was recently featured on the Scholar Wealth Podcast for a conversation about 1031 exchanges and their role in real estate investing.

The discussion covers the 45-day identification and 180-day completion timelines, common pitfalls to avoid, and how flexibility in structuring exchanges can open the door to new investment opportunities. Julie also shares insights on emerging trends, including the rise of reverse exchanges, the use of Delaware Statutory Trusts for passive ownership, and how investors are shifting geographically to adapt to today’s changing market.
