“Brad Borden has been referred to as "Mr. 1031"—in fact, I've called him that myself—and this book shows why. No one knows more about the practice and theory of like-kind exchanges. Brad has practiced and taught for many years; he has written widely on like-kind exchanges and many other tax issues; and he speaks regularly at conferences around the country. In short, he knows it all, and he has distilled that knowledge into Tax-Free Swaps. I can imagine no book that will provide a better introduction to the intricacies of section 1031, and those who have been doing exchanges for years will also learn from it.”
