Reinvesting your real estate returns is easy with section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. In this article, we are going to offer up some tips for reinvesting your real estate returns using a 1031 exchange.
Defer Taxes
The beauty of a 1031 exchange is that, when done properly, you can defer your capital gains taxes by continually reinvesting the sales proceeds into new replacement property. This allows you to keep your money working for you in a continued investment, compounding wealth over time rather than cutting a check to the government.
Always Trade Up
One important thing to keep in mind when exchanging like-kind property is that you always want to trade up when it comes to your replacement property. That means your replacement property needs to be equal to or greater than your relinquished property in value, equity, and debt. In order to defer 100% of your gains, you need to be sure to satisfy these requirements.
Be Mindful of Your Timing
1031 exchanges are governed by strict time lines. Be sure you meet the necessary deadlines or your exchange will fail.
