You Can't Afford to Miss This
In 2025, tax laws are tightening, and lawsuits are rising. Investors who guess or delay will pay, in taxes, missed opportunities, and irreversible financial mistakes.
In a market where the wrong move can cost you six figures, inaction is the most expensive option.
Whether you're scaling your portfolio, preparing for exit, or simply trying to hold on to what you've built, the strategies covered at RECON are what the top 1% of investors are quietly using to:
- Save $50K–$100K per year through aggressive (and legal) tax planning
- Eliminate capital gains and recapture taxes using tools like 1031 exchanges and 1245x
- Turn old 401(k)s into real estate investments through self-directed IRAs, tax-free
- Protect your entire portfolio from lawsuits, liabilities, and probate nightmares
- Use Roth conversions, cost seg, and estate planning to build multigenerational wealth
This isn’t a theory event. It’s tactical. Strategic. And designed for active, serious investors who are already building, or ready to preserve... real wealth.
The cost of your ticket is nothing compared to what you’ll lose by staying uninformed in this market.
