Tuesday, August 5th, 2014Southern Thunder Harley-Davidsons Grand Re-Opening Party Raises More Than $110K for Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi
Thursday, July 17th, 2014
Southaven, MS (PRWEB) June 20, 2014
In spite of the rain, thousands of riders rallied at Southern Thunder Harley-Davidson Saturday, June 7, for a good cause and a great time. The event, which featured top musical talent including rock legends Molly Hatchet and Black Oak Arkansas, helped raise $ 110,440 for Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi (BGCNMS).
It has been less than a year since he bought Southern Thunder Harley-Davidson, but new owner Bob Parsons wanted customers to know just how much he appreciates the riding community and how committed the dealership is to supporting the local area.
The Grand Re-opening Party at Southern Thunder Harley-Davidson was far more than a daylong celebration of motorcycling it was about being a good community partner, said Parsons. Were not here to simply sell motorcycles, we are here to help make this community a better place for everyone. By supporting Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi I believe we are doing just that.
A motorcycle endorsement was good for free concert admission for riders and one passenger. For all others there was a $ 20 requested donation. One-hundred percent of ticket and event tee-shirt sales and 20 percent of all vendor proceeds were designated to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi.
Since 1996, BGCNMS has empowered young people to reach their full potential as caring, productive, responsible citizens. Nearly 2,000 children and teens count on five clubhouses after school and during the summer for safety, hot meals, positive friends and countless opportunities to be great.
The largest donation of the evening, $ 100,000, was presented to BGCNMS by none-other than Bob Parsons himself. In addition to the outright donation, Parsons also announced that The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation will provide funds to remodel three clubhouses that are in dire need of repair.
By addressing the shortcomings of the clubhouses we are helping to create a safe and happy place for the children who need it most, Parsons added.
Parsons and his wife Renee have long supported the work of Boys & Girls Clubs in their home state of Arizona, awarding more than $ 6 million to the organization.
The announcement Saturday evening exceeded our greatest expectations, said BGCNMS Chief People Officer Zell Long. The $ 110,440 donation and commitment to upgrade three of our facilities will have a tremendous impact on the lives of our Club members, board, staff and community stakeholders. As good stewards of the funds and commitment, the good people at Southern Thunder Harley-Davidson and Mr. Bob Parsons can be assured that all will be targeted toward the highest and best uses for the organization. We are humbled and so pleased to be the recipient of such generosity.

Peak 1031 Exchange Inc.s First Quarter Analysis of Southern California Real Estate Activity Reveals Spike in Small Investor and Single Family Rental Transactions
Tuesday, May 28th, 2013
Woodland Hills, CA (PRWEB) May 23, 2013
First quarter analysis of regional trends in the industry indicates a significant increase in small investors favoring the 1031 exchange process as a means to defer capital gains taxes, states Kevin M. Levine, Executive Vice President of Peak 1031 Exchange Inc. (http://www.peakexchange.com). As Bush-era tax cuts ended at the beginning of 2013, we had anticipated a slowdown in activity as a result of heavy investor transactions at the end of 2012 to beat the deadline. To the contrary, our first quarter transaction volume shows a significant spike in 1031 exchange activity, especially among investors with strong positions in single-family residential income property.
Recent data affirms strong small investor activity in Peak 1031 Exchange Inc.s core Southern California market, with all-cash buyers in February alone accounting for 31.4 percent of the Southland homes sold, and 30.6 percent in March of this year. Despite strong acquisitions from REITs, institutional investors, and larger asset management firms in single-family properties for rental purposes, Levine comments, investors with much smaller portfolios found room to successfully participate in the market as well. Weve observed that many of the smaller investor shops utilized the Delayed Exchange in 2013 to quickly capture opportunities in an extremely competitive environment. The Delayed Exchange allows for the sale of an existing property, in which the funds are placed in a binding trust for up to 180 days while the seller identifies a similar property for acquisition and is allowed to defer capital gains taxes on the transaction. While analysts projected a slowdown in activity, Levine continues, our client base was extremely active in identifying single-family rental opportunities and leveraging their existing properties to seize on opportunities that would not be available later in the year.
Tight inventories in single family housing are causing a spike in values felt across the housing industry that could limit small investor participation, and Levine believes that those investors chose to act quickly on opportunities in light of the dwindling supply. We work with a savvy, nimble investor clientele that understood that the 1031 Exchange process could assist in mitigating severe tax liabilities as a result of the sunset of Bush era tax cuts, but concedes it could be a more difficult time ahead given the lack of single-family product available right now. However, Levines team has been working closely with investors and exploring the Reverse Exchange option. When the right investment opportunity does present itself to investors with access to available capital, states Levine, the assistance of a qualified intermediary can help them acquire the property immediately with 180 days to sell a similar property already a part of their portfolio. We anticipate being able to benefit this sector of the market with tax deferment strategies, regardless of the limitations of inventory.
Peak 1031 Exchange, Inc. is a leading national provider of tax-deferred 1031 exchange services, specializing in all like-kind transactions including Simultaneous, Delayed, Reverse, Improvement and Personal Property exchanges. It is part of the Peak Corporate Network (http://www.peakcorp.com), a brand representing a group of entities providing a comprehensive array of commercial and retail real estate services nationwide including mortgage lending, loan servicing, short sale services, foreclosure services, insurance, real estate brokerage and escrow services.
