It's getting close to tax time, and this month we focus our monthly E-Newsletter on bringing you advice and perspective from some of the industry's best tax authorities. It wasn't easy getting these folks to tear themselves away from their work during their busiest time of year, but we did some friendly arm twisting, and we think you'll appreciate what we've got in store for you.

We begin with an article by Jack Cutone, founder and Managing Partner of United Asset Trading Company, LLC. Jack is an expert in the area of 1031 Exchanges, the subject of his article, "1031 Exchange - The Smart Way To Buy Investment Property." Jack explains what these are, how they work, and why 1031 exchanges are beneficial to both real estate investors and the IRS.

Next we drill down on a topic that should be of interest to anyone making a go of a new business: Goal Setting. Certified Work-Life Coach and licensed real estate broker Sharon Teitelbaum wastes no time in identifying problems - and solutions - for keeping your 2006 plans on track. Her suggestion-packed article, "Don't Worry, B-SASSY: A Six Step Program For Reaching Your Investment Goals," is not to be missed.

Our "Interview with the Expert" segment this month features Sonia M. Stingo, a CPA and partner at Livingston & Haynes in Wellesley, MA. Sonia spent time with us this month to discuss the critical (and often misunderstood) tax topic of deducting real estate loses.

And finally, as always, we bring you Debbie Siegel's Mortgage Minute, our monthly column in which we explain a critical real estate investing concept. This month, Debbie tackles "The Fed," and explains when and how the regular meetings of this government body impact mortgage rates (Hint: It doesn't work the way you probably think it does!).
