There are many reasons why you might benefit from doing a like-kind exchange, rather than selling your real property. In this article, we are going to discuss the benefits of doing a 1031 exchange of real estate.
Defer Your Capital Gains Tax
The largest immediate benefit to the taxpayer is that a 1031 exchange allows you to defer your capital gains on the sale of real estate. Typically, when you sell real estate, you are hit with a capital gains tax liability. A 1031 exchange encourages people to reinvest their proceeds by allowing them to defer those capital gains taxes as long as they move their net proceeds into a new replacement property.
Put Your Money to Work
A 1031 exchange also allows you to put your money to work, so to speak. Rather than writing a check to the government for those capital gains taxes, you can re-invest in a bigger, better property and keep that money compounding and building wealth over time.
Diversify Your Portfolio
Finally, a 1031 exchange is a great way of diversifying your real estate portfolio. With a like-kind real estate exchange, you can exchange out of and into different business segments as needed.
