1031 Tax Exchange

 

The 1031 Tax Exchange is an Internal Revenue Code that allows you to defer taxes when selling investment and business properties. 
Under certain guidelines you can defer the capital gains tax to substantially increase your equity to invest into replacement property. 
There are guidelines that can help you adhere to including the basic times frames beginning with the closing of the property you are selling
 to identifying replacement property (the 45 day rule), and 180 days to close on a like-kind property.
This proven tax strategy can be used to:
* Increase returns and leverage by trading from one to several replacement properties
* Investment diversification by trading for different property types & locations
* Freedom from joint ownership by trading into separate properties
* Geographic relocation, or consolidation by trading to different state or area
* Decrease management responsibilities by exchanging into less management intensive properties
* Increase cash flow & wealth building by trading from high equity-low cash flow property to high leverage-high cash flow properties.
