Video – Why The Most Successful Real Estate Investors are Fearless

The most successful real estate investors are somewhat fearless. If you’re fearful, you’re just going to want to do what you’re comfortable doing (e.g. only buying a single type of asset like single family homes or duplexes). Fearless real estate investors quickly ascend up to a higher level. Using other people’s money and leverage allows you to scale up quickly. But first, you need to get your initial amount of equity before you can take the leap.

Video – Starker & Non-Simultaneous 1031 Exchanges

1031 exchanges date all the way back to 1921. For over 100 years, 1031 exchanges have existed in the tax code in some iteration. The big breakthrough that opened the floodgates was when T.J. Starker (a lumber baron from Oregon) decided to challenge the existing paradigm of the time. Back in the day, 1031 exchanges were thought to have to be simultaneous exchanges, where person A trades their farm to person B, and at the same time person B trades their farm to person A.

T.J. Starker decided to give up his relinquished property in exchange for replacement property that he would receive later. The IRS did not like this idea at the time. They took Starker to court. The case went all the way to the US Supreme Court, where Starker won on a procedural argument. As a result, we are now able to do non-simultaneous 1031 exchanges.

Video – Defining Like-Kind Real Property in a 1031 Exchange

“Like-kind” is one of the essential litmus tests in a 1031 exchange. Many people think that if they sell a single family rental, they need to buy another single family rental in order to do a 1031 exchange. That’s not true. So long as the replacement property is like-kind to the relinquished property, you can buy all sorts of property types (DSTs, TIC property, development rights, air rights, etc.) The definition of “like-kind” is very broad in the realm of 1031 exchanges of real estate.

Video – When Were the 1031 Exchange Timing Rules Established?

The IRS, Treasury, and Congress did not like the Starker decision of 1979 that allowed for delayed exchanges. They thought that there weren’t enough guardrails and limitations. As a result, they decided to implement restrictions limiting the number of properties that you can acquire by requiring that you identify your replacement properties within 45 days after the sale of your relinquished property, and that you acquire those relinquished properties within 180 days.

Video – Leverage the Tax Code to Maximize Your Returns & Your Appreciation

Under the tax code, you’re incentivized to move the proceeds from your under-producing real estate into more advantageous like-kind real estate throughout the United States in a 1031 exchange. Let’s say that you own farmland that’s not producing a very good cash-on-cash return, yet your property taxes increase every year. Or what if you own apartment buildings that at one time were great money makers but now have lots of deferred maintenance and cap ex expenses. Or perhaps you’re in a location where property values are not increasing and you can move to a more advantageous geographic location.

Let’s use section 1031 of the tax code to maximize your returns and your appreciation!
