The 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange
Where Creativity & Investing Meet
As a wealth building tool for
investors of all sizes, the 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange
addresses one of life’s great mysteries: How to retain
and maximize ones assets while being in full
accordance with IRS Regulations. Investors can benefit
from the power of a 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange by
deferring the taxes that would otherwise be incurred
on an outright sale of their property. You can use
your entire amount of equity from an exchange to
acquire substantially more replacement property, now
that’s an Aha Moment!
At JACE The Real Estate Company, our agents take
specific and continued training in 1031 Tax Deferred
Exchanges; we also offer public seminars on Tax
Deferred Exchanges taught by experts in the field.
Properly structured and administered, an exchange
becomes an invaluable tax-saving tool and an integral
part of the investor’s strategy. Through exchanging,
investors are able to meet their objectives without
losing equity to taxation. This method of acquiring
real estate helps investors purchase property many
times the value of their initial investment.
JACE The Real Estate Company Realtors play a key role
when we point out potential benefits of tax-deferred
exchanges to our clients. Buyers or Sellers employ the
services of an Exchange Intermediary at any point
prior to the property closing escrow.
The main requirement is that property be held by the
seller for use as an investment (not your primary
residence) or a trade or business, and be exchanged
for like-kind replacement property. Here’s the fun
part: like kind replacement property means real
estate, an apartment building may be traded for raw
land and a rental house may be traded for a triplex,
this is where all real estate is created equally.
Points to Ponder:
You may not have to pay capital gains taxes on the
sale of property if you plan to reinvest.
The dollars you save in taxes allow you, as an
investor, to purchase more real estate.
There are strict time requirements of 45 days to
identify the replacement property and 180 days to
complete the entire exchange.
Exchanges can range anywhere from a simultaneous
exchange of two properties to complex, multi-party
transactions involving construction and/or reverse
exchanges. A qualified intermediary will help you
decide what type of exchange is best for your specific
needs.
Your accountant and your attorney will be dazzled by
your planning. Properly structured and administered,
1031 Exchanges may be an invaluable tax-saving tool
and an integral part of the investor’s strategy.
If you ever wonder exactly how the rich keep getting
richer, the 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange is one of the
tools utilized. We at JACE The Real Estate Company are
excited to help you build wealth through wise
investments in real estate.
