  • Are there any downsides to a 1031 Exchange Advantage?

    Also known as a deferred exchange, a 1031 exchange is a tax advantage that enables businesses and investors to defer capital gains tax on real estate. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, honestly it really isn’t. Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code provides a legal way to postpone the tax on the gain if the property is held as part of a business or investment. This is a great way for businesses and investors to take advantage of the additional value of their real estate and put it into their next purchase. As such, it is essentially like an interest-free loan.​​​​​​​

  • What Is A 1031 Exchange Property?

    When you choose to do a 1031 exchange, the property that you exchange for must be ‘like-kind’ for them to be classed as tax-deferrable. The Income Revenue Code 1031 after which this process is named defines like-kind properties as those that have been held for productive use in a business, a trade or as an investment. This means that primary residences are excluded from the 1031 exchange process. ​​​​​​​

This is a tax that is levied on profit made from the sale of a property or an investment. Exactly how much tax you will be expected to pay will depend on your individual circumstances, but you may be liable to pay as much as 20% of the profit from the sale of your home back to the IRS.
