1031 Exchange Explained
1031 Exchange Explained
A
1031 exchange permits
1031 exchange property property owners to sell an
investment property and defer tax payments by reinvesting the proceeds into a like-kind
1031 exchange property or investment properties. A
1031 exchange is enabled by IRC section 1031.
By deferring any applicable taxes, the
property owner has more money available to invest in other investment property. In effect, you receive an interest free loan from the federal government in the amount you would have paid in taxes.
When combined with a 1031 exchange,
tenants in common investment properties can be even more attractive. 1031 Exchanges allow you to defer capital gains taxes by investing in a like investment property.
When using
tenants in common investment properties with a 1031 exchange, you can defer capital gains while diversifying your investments. You can purchase shares of various
tenants in common investment properties in different locales with the proceeds of the 1031 sale.
