Your 1031 Exchange Advisor
Considering a 1031 Exchange?
Do you own appreciated real estate that you are currently selling or considering selling? If so, do you know the tax liability that will result from the sale? Paying taxes on the sale of an investment property can be very expensive. In some states, the total amount of tax can be as high as 42.1%.
The good news is that you do have options to reduce, defer, and even eliminate capital gains taxes. With a tax-deferred 1031 Exchange, investment real estate owners can sell their existing property and defer paying capital gains tax, as long as they reinvest in replacement property(s) of equal or greater value. Additionally, for many investment property owners, a 1031 Exchange also allows for a transition to passive management while improving monthly income potential and diversifying their real estate investments.
Consult a Licensed 1031 Exchange Advisor
A 1031 Exchange is undeniably one of the most generous sections of the tax code and can be used in many ways, however, 1031 Exchange rules are very strict and must be followed closely to qualify for tax deferral. This is why it is important to work with a licensed 1031 Exchange Advisor.
A 1031 Exchange Advisor should not only help you find, select, and acquire a quality 1031 Exchange replacement property, but also assist you in navigating the 1031 Exchange rules, debt matching requirements, and addressing property ownership issues. There are many 1031 Exchange companies to choose from; however, like in any industry, the level of expertise, years of experience, client focus, due diligence, and services offered can vary greatly from company to company.
