What is a 1031 Exchange?
A 1031 exchange, named after Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, allows investors to defer paying capital gains taxes on an investment property when it is sold, as long as another "like-kind property" is purchased with the profit gained from the sale of the first property.
Why Now?
The current economic climate presents a unique opportunity for savvy real estate investors. With the right strategy and guidance, a 1031 exchange can unlock significant tax savings, allowing you to reinvest more of your capital into promising real estate opportunities.
Benefits of a 1031 Exchange
Deferment of Taxes: The primary benefit of a 1031 exchange is the deferment of capital gains tax, allowing more capital to be reinvested.
Portfolio Growth: By deferring taxes, you can use the extra capital to purchase a more valuable investment property, leading to potential portfolio growth.
Flexibility: The "like-kind" rule is broad, allowing for flexibility in the type of property you can exchange.
