Retirement doesn’t have to mean stepping away from real estate, but it might mean repositioning your real estate. As retirement approaches, many investors look to reduce management responsibilities, create predictable income, and preserve wealth. A 1031 exchange can help you accomplish all of these goals.
With the right 1031 exchange strategy, your properties can shift from hands-on management to passive, income-focused assets without triggering unnecessary taxes.
Reposition Your Real Estate with a 1031 Exchange
1031 exchanges can help reposition real estate into a variety of alternatives, such as:
Passive DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) Investments
Triple-Net (NNN) Leased Properties
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
These types of investment properties can take the burden off of your shoulders as you entire into your retirement years, all while deferring your capital gains tax burden. That’s why so many real estate investors consider like-kind exchanges as they approach retirement. If you’re interested in setting yourself up for a management-free retirement, talk to a qualified intermediary today about the 1031 exchange process and see if it’s an option for you.
Defer Capital Gains Taxes on the Sale of Investment or Business Property
With a 1031 exchange, you can defer your capital gains taxes when you sell like-kind property that’s held for investment or business purposes. The catch is that you must reinvest your sales proceeds into a like-kind replacement property to continue your investment. A qualified intermediary from CPEC1031, LLC can help guide you through the 1031 exchange process, making sure you hit all the necessary benchmarks. Contact our qualified intermediaries today at our Twin Cities office, located in downtown Minneapolis.
