1031 Exchange
A 1031 exchange, also known as a like-kind exchange or tax-deferred exchange, is a powerful tool that allows real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling one investment property and acquiring another similar property.
This strategy has several advantages that can significantly enhance an investor's ability to grow their real estate portfolio and maximize returns.

We help clients and investors maximize
their real estate investments and explore new possibilities.
-
By reinvesting the proceeds into a like-kind property, the investor can defer paying taxes on the gains, allowing them to have more capital available to invest in the replacement property.
-
A 1031 exchange enables investors to shift their investments into different types of real estate, such as residential to commercial and vice versa. Diversification helps spread risk and can protect against fluctuations in a specific real estate sector, making the overall investment portfolio more stable.
-
Selling a property that has appreciated in value allows investors to leverage the gains into a larger and potentially more profitable property. As a result, they can move up the property ladder and acquire assets that might have been otherwise financially unfeasible.
