A 1031 Exchange, also referred to as a “like-kind” or tax-deferred exchange, is a popular method enabling real estate investors to sell an investment property, defer capital gains taxes on the profit, and reinvest in a “replacement” property.The process is simple: sell your property, execute a 1031 Exchange, and reinvest in another like-kind property of equal or greater value. This strategy offers various advantages, such as:
What is a 1031 Exchange?
A 1031 exchange, named after Section 1031 of the IRS Code, allows investors to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of an investment property by reinvesting the proceeds into a like-kind property within a specified timeline.
What properties qualify for a 1031 Exchange?

Investors have 45 days from the sale of their property to identify a replacement property and 180 days to complete the purchase of the replacement property.
Can I exchange multiple properties in a 1031 Exchange?
Yes, you can sell one property and acquire multiple replacement properties, or vice versa, as long as the total transaction meets IRS requirements for like-kind exchanges.
What are the tax benefits of a 1031 Exchange?
By deferring capital gains taxes, a 1031 exchange allows investors to preserve more capital for reinvestment, grow their real estate portfolios, and potentially increase cash flow and long-term wealth.
