Understanding 1031 Exchanges
A 1031 exchange, also known as a like-kind exchange, is a powerful tax-deferment strategy used by savvy real estate investors. It allows an investor to defer paying capital gains taxes on an investment property when it is sold, as long another "like-kind property" is purchased with the profit gained by the sale of the first property.
