The good news? Every one of these mistakes is avoidable.

If you're currently under contract — or preparing to buy — this episode will help you protect your approval, avoid last-minute surprises, and move to closing with confidence.

Are you selling an investment property in 2026? Before you list, you need to understand the hidden tax risks inside a 1031 exchange strategy.

In this episode of the Mastering 1031 Exchange Series, Judy Casad and Qualified Intermediary Milissa Ormiston-Hall break down these key topics:

• Cost segregation explained in plain English • Bonus depreciation and why it can backfire • Depreciation recapture and ordinary income tax • Why breaking even doesn't mean zero tax • Gain vs. equity (and why investors confuse them) • How prior 1031 exchanges lower your cost basis • Where to find your adjusted basis (IRS Form 8824) • The key questions to ask your CPA before selling

Many investors assume if they don't walk away with much cash, they won't owe taxes. That assumption can be very expensive.

If you own rental property, commercial property, or income-producing real estate, this conversation could protect you from a surprise tax bill.

How does tourism actually work behind the scenes along the McKenzie River — and How do weddings, events, and overnight stays support the entire corridor?

Our guests take you inside the layered marketing and funding system that helps position the McKenzie River Valley as a destination for celebrations, recreation, and meaningful travel — without losing the character that makes it special.

Whether you're a resident, a business owner, a venue operator, or considering an investment along the McKenzie River corridor, this episode explains how the system works — and how you can plug into it.

If you listened to Episode 144, Exploring Weddings Along The McKenzie River, this is the follow-up that explains how those efforts are supported, amplified, and sustained.

You'll hear from:

Carol Tannenbaum, Email Chair of the McKenzie River Chamber of Commerce Tourism Committee and owner of McKenzie River Lavender, on how local leadership guides tourism funding, wayfinding, storytelling, and community-driven projects.
Stephen Hoshaw Email and Megan Temple Email of Travel Lane County (Eugene, Cascades & Coast), on how county-level marketing moves visitors from awareness to booking and supports lodging, venues, and small businesses.
Tori Middelstadt, Email Executive Director of the Willamette Valley Visitors Association, on how regional and out-of-state marketing amplifies communities like the McKenzie River and helps fund destination development projects.

Together, we explore:

• How transient lodging tax dollars are reinvested locally • Why gateway signage, visitor centers, and interpretive projects matter • How layered marketing (local → county → regional → state) increases overnight stays • Why weddings and event travel create ripple effects for restaurants, lodges, and service providers • How business owners and residents can engage in the tourism process • What investors should understand about long-term destination strategy

Tourism isn't just about visitors. It's about community resilience, economic stability, and thoughtful growth.

Listen in to understand how discovery becomes overnight stays, how overnight stays support local businesses, and how collaboration keeps the McKenzie River strong for generations to come.

Entrepreneur & Investor Opportunity For entrepreneurs, hospitality operators, or investors exploring event-driven or lodging opportunities along the McKenzie River corridor, this episode outlines the layered marketing and tourism infrastructure already in place.

Properties positioned within this ecosystem benefit from:

• Local tourism committee leadership • County-level marketing through Travel Lane County (Eugene, Cascades & Coast) • Regional and out-of-state amplification through the Willamette Valley Visitors Association • Strategic investment funding for destination development • Growing interest in weddings, retreats, and experiential travel

A rare opportunity currently available within this corridor is the McKenzie River Inn — a custom-built residential inn designed for retreat, lodging, and event potential.

If you are an entrepreneur seeking a hospitality investment aligned with coordinated tourism support and long-term destination strategy, this may be worth exploring.

A new year is the perfect time to review what protects one of your biggest investments—your home. In this episode of All About Home Insurance, we're kicking off 2026 with a smart homeowner checklist designed for Union County, Oregon. As homeowners shift into financial planning mode—thinking about budgets, taxes, renewals, and long-term property value—insurance coverage deserves a closer look. Storm season, wildfire risk, rising rebuild costs, and policy renewals make this a critical moment to ask: Is your home really covered for what could happen next? We'll walk through common insurance gaps homeowners often discover too late, how coverage (or lack of it) can impact claims and property value, and what proactive steps you can take now to avoid surprises later. Whether you own a primary residence, rental, or future retirement home, this episode will help you start the year informed, prepared, and protected. If you'd like to talk through how insurance ties into property value and marketability in Union County, I'm always happy to help.

You'll also hear the latest mortgage rate update from David Kammerer at Summit Funding and find out what today's numbers mean for buyers and homeowners in Union County and throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Plus, we'll review the latest mortgage rates as of October 20, 2025, and discuss what those numbers mean for buyers and homeowners moving forward.

When buyers with deeper pockets walk into a home, what makes them stop and say, this is the one? In this episode we paint the picture of what wealthy buyers are really after—status, comfort, and effortless living—and tie it back to the emotional appeal of each feature. Homeowners - you don’t need a mansion to highlight “luxury appeal.” It’s about creating moments of luxury in everyday spaces.

'Windermere Ready' Specifically for homeowners preparing to sell their homes. See below
