Why Are So Many Trees Dying in Colorado?

Image
On a recent trip on I-70 to evaluate some land for a client, I was confronted with sad but beautiful image of red forests stretching for miles across the hills. The image of a red "evergreen" contrasting against the green scenery is mesmerizing at first until you take a closer look at red death destroying millions of trees in Colorado. Beetle epidemics across the western United States are becoming more obvious every season with entire landscapes turning red and brown as trees die. In northwest Colorado the beetle epidemics, triggered by extended drought in aging forests, are intensifying at an alarming rate, and there is little that can be done to stop them. Actions can be taken to protect high value areas such as ski areas, developed campgrounds and trees in people’s yards. Hastening Death: Pine beetles carry a fungus on their body and legs. Once they enter the tree, the fungus multiplies and spreads. This blue stain fungus blocks the transport of water up the tree’s trunk ...

Vacation Property 1031 Exchange Guidelines

Great News! The IRS will not challenge whether a vacation property qualifies for Section 1031 treatment if certain specified ownership and use requirements are met. The IRS has released Revenue Procedure 2008-16, which provides definite guidelines for a safe harbor vacation property 1031 exchange. To meet the safe harbor requirements, a taxpayer, during the 24 months prior to the sale of his or her vacation home, or within 24 months after the purchase of their vacation property as a 1031 replacement property, must: 1) Rent the property at fair market rent for a minimum of 14 days during each 12- month period of the 24-month period. 2) Limit personal use of the property during each 12-month period of the 24-month period not to exceed the greater of 14 days or 10 percent of the number of days the property is rented at a fair market rent during each of the two 12-month periods. The IRS defined personal use to include: the taxpayer or any other person who has an interest in the vacation pr...
