In this easy-to-read guide, we cover the topics that are of most interest to potential investors, including:


A 1031 exchange allows an investor to sell real estate property and then reinvest the proceeds in a new property in order to defer, or even eliminate, the taxes that may arise from the sale. Utilizing a 1031 exchange allows the money that would have been paid in taxes to remain invested, potentially generating additional income and wealth.
If you’re considering selling property and want to defer or even eliminate the capital gains that may arise from the sale of a property, a 1031 exchange may be an appropriate solution.
By completing a 1031 exchange, potential taxes on the sale of the property may be deferred (e.g., capital gains, depreciation recapture).
A completed 1031 exchange may provide the opportunity to put all capital to work rather than lose a portion of it to taxes.
Depending on the type of replacement property purchased, the potential for consistent cash flow may be a benefit.
Passive ownership structures allow for diversification both geographically and by property type.
Structures such as TICs and DSTs allow for passive ownership, alleviating the worry of managing a property.
DST and TIC structures allow for a step up in basis upon death, may facilitate intergenerational planning, and protect family interests.
