1031 Exchange (Like-Kind Exchange)

Buying and selling real estate property is a wise investment, so long as you can keep your money and put it to work for you. 1031 exchanges are a strategic choice for deferring taxes and maximizing real estate investments. 
 
Our streamlined process, guidance from experienced professionals, and security measures to protect your financial interests will help you avoid capital gains taxes, preserve equity, ensure compliance, and save tax dollars. 

Understanding 1031 Exchanges

Under Section 1031 of the IRS tax code, if you are a business owner who owns the property, you can sell it and reinvest the proceeds into a replacement property, deferring capital gains taxes and avoiding depreciation recapture.

You can even defer taxes indefinitely through successive delayed exchanges.

Eligibility Requirements for a 1031 Exchange

Unlike with a typical real estate sale, you can defer capital gains tax payments when you sell an investment property and acquire one of “like-kind” – so long as the property is also used for your business or investment purposes, the exchange is completed within a 180-day timeline, and it meets IRS regulations.

 

We guide you through the process of complex transactions to avoid paying thousands of dollars to the IRS.
