Real estate decisions can have major tax consequences — especially in retirement, when preserving wealth and creating income matters more than ever. This seminar is designed to give you a clear, easy-to-understand overview of how capital gains taxes work and when a 1031 exchange may be used to defer taxes on investment property. We’ll walk through common real-life scenarios seniors often face, including selling rental property, repositioning assets, or simplifying holdings later in life. You’ll learn the key rules, timelines, and potential advantages — as well as the pitfalls to avoid. Participants will leave with: •	A better understanding of how capital gains taxes are calculated •	When a 1031 exchange may (and may not) make sense •	What questions to ask before selling investment property •	How to make tax-smart decisions that support long-term financial security This session is about helping you make thoughtful, informed property decisions that align with your goals for retirement and beyond.

The Granada Theatre

OPENING WEEKEND Rachmaninoff’s Second Concerto Saturday, October 24, 2026 | 7:30 PM Sunday, October 25, 2026 | 3:00 PM The Granada Theatre
Plagued by self-doubt, Sergei Rachmaninoff had abandoned his music. When inspiration returned, he poured every ounce of longing and triumph into the concerto that made him immortal. Grammy Award-winning pianist Michelle Cann brings it to life. "She displayed her own powerful technique," raved Washington Classical Review. Nir Kabaretti also conducts Shostakovich's Fifth —a stirring masterpiece of courage, conflict, and survival.
