Summary
Today we are answering a few real estate questions starting with one about a 1031 exchange and then one about how to determine what qualifies as a "primary home." We then get to hear from our friend Jim Sheils at SI Homes who gives us an update on what they offer and what is new with them. We then change directions and discuss the national debt as well as answer some questions about things to thin about when you are starting a new practice.
