10 Reasons Why You Should do a 1031 Exchange

Updated: Jan 21, 2022

The main benefit of carrying out a 1031 exchange is the tax deferral, but there's more!


Defer 100% Capital Gains Taxes

A 1031 exchange allows you to defer capital gains tax. By doing this it frees up more capital for investment in a potential replacement property. In a 1031 exchange, you sell one property and defer the payment of capital gains taxes by acquiring a replacement property or properties. This helps you keep the money working for you, rather than paying out about a heavy dose of that equity in taxes.


Freedom from Property Management

Many of our clients come to us because they are tired of the grind of managing a property be it duplex or fourplex or any other type of property. A triple-net (NNN) leased property provides the owner a stream of income in a much more hassle-free manner. Our clients are moving more into a retirement phase where a less labor-intensive arrangement is welcome!


Increased Cash Flow

Depending on the situation, many people can not only decrease the management load, but increase the cash flow.


Re-Leverage Your Equity

Without the 1031 exchange, many would lose their hard earned equity to taxes. By using a 1031 exchange, you can put that equity to work.


Increased Tax Shelter

Simplify estate planning

Upgrade the Quality of your Real Estate

Diversify your Real Estate Investments
