Click Here for the Show Notes Ready to turn a simple 1031 exchange into a wealth-building machine? In this episode, Melissa and seasoned investor-builder Josh unveil a powerful new twist on the traditional 1031—what they’re calling the “Poor Man’s Improvement” (aka the strategy that can create six figures of instant equity while deferring taxes). Josh breaks down how his team helps investors sell a property, roll their gains into a brand-new construction build at builder cost, and walk away with forced equity, stronger cash flow potential, and the option to rinse and repeat to scale faster than ever. Plus, we dig into Florida’s steady-growth market, the perks of duplex investing, and why creative strategies—not just cash on hand—separate slow-growth investors from exponential ones. Thinking about a 1031 exchange—or want to plan ahead for your next move? 👉 Contact us  for a strategy session and get introduced to Josh’s team, the 1031 exchange pros, and the lenders who make this process seamless.
