What is a 1031 Exchange?
The 1031 exchange, as it is commonly known, derives its name from the section of the Internal Revenue Code which explains the use of a tax deferred exchange. Through this code section, a taxpayer is allowed to defer capital gain tax on the sale and subsequent purchase of investment or business property if the transaction is structured correctly with the use of a qualified intermediary.
Who can take advantage of a 1031 exchange and what is the benefit?
Benefits: Leverage, Consolidation/Diversification, Increased Cash Flow/Income, Increased Purchasing Power for Investors. Investors can take advantage of the 1031 tax-deferred exchange to acquire a more valuable investment property. By utilizing the money they would have paid to the IRS in taxes, they can increase their down payment and improve their overall buying power to acquire a more expensive replacement property.
