Defer capital gains taxes and upgrade your investment portfolio. Expert guidance through every phase of the exchange process.
A 1031 exchange, named after Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, allows real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling an investment property—provided the proceeds are reinvested into a "like-kind" replacement property within specific timeframes.
This powerful tax strategy allows investors to preserve more of their equity, compound returns over time, and strategically reposition their portfolios without the drag of a large tax bill. Used properly, 1031 exchanges can be one of the most effective wealth-building tools available to commercial real estate investors.
1031 exchanges have strict IRS deadlines. Missing them can disqualify the exchange entirely.
From the close of your relinquished property sale, you have 45 calendar days to formally identify up to three potential replacement properties.
The replacement property acquisition must close within 180 calendar days of selling the relinquished property.
To fully defer taxes, all net proceeds from the sale must be reinvested into the replacement property. Any "boot" received is taxable.
