A 1031 exchange allows you to swap investment property for another like kind property to defer capital gains under IRS rules. It requires careful timing, a qualified intermediary, and adherence to identification and closing deadlines. Partnering with a knowledgeable real estate attorney helps ensure the process stays compliant and on track.
Any investor holding qualifying property used for business or income production can consider a 1031 exchange. The structure must meet IRS requirements and be coordinated with a qualified intermediary and legal advisor. Consultation helps determine whether this approach fits your portfolio and goals.
Most investment real estate can qualify if used for business or income production and exchanged for like kind property. Primary residences generally do not qualify, so planning is essential. Work with a professional to assess eligibility and identify suitable replacement properties.
