Why I created Investor Access

A short message from Steve on why investors should know their QI team before the next investment property sale.

Watch before you join

A quick explanation from Steve before you join.

Steve's video will give investors a clear overview of his 20+ years of 1031 experience, why Investor Access is free to join, and why it helps to know your qualified intermediary team before a sale or closing timeline becomes urgent.

"Start with the training, stay connected through monthly insights and webinars, then reach out to the team when your exchange timeline becomes more specific."

Why Investor Access exists

This is not just a training. It is a direct path to choose your QI early.

If you may sell investment property, it helps to understand your 1031 options before the transaction is already moving. The training helps you learn, but Investor Access is designed to help you get familiar with a trusted qualified intermediary team, join useful investor conversations, and hear from expert partners before your next exchange becomes urgent.

Why access is free

A clear reason to start early.

Investor Access is free because 1031 Federal wants to build real relationships with investors before a sale or closing deadline makes the QI decision feel rushed. If you may be selling investment property, this gives you a way to learn, ask questions, and understand whether a 1031 exchange may help defer capital gains taxes on a qualifying transaction.

The free training is still valuable because it explains the structure, mistakes, case studies, BRRRR strategy, improvement exchanges, co-ownership issues, and reverse exchanges. But the bigger trust shift is this: if an investor likes the way Steve teaches and wants experienced QI support, they can start the relationship before a closing deadline forces a rushed decision.

Meet the QI team

I do not want your first QI conversation to happen right before closing.

Submitted investors should receive the training link immediately, then be routed by timeline, question type, discount interest, referral interest, and whether they may need a QI soon.
