Why First-Time Investors Should Consider 1031 Exchanges

1031 exchanges are available to all US taxpayers – from seasoned veterans to first-time investors alike. In this article, we are going to explain why first-time investors should consider doing a 1031 exchange.

Grow Your Portfolio with a 1031 Exchange

A 1031 exchange is a tax-efficient vehicle for growing your portfolio. Here are some of the many benefits of conducting a 1031 exchange:

  • Defer Your Taxes. 1031 exchanges are also known as tax-deferred exchanges because they allow you to defer your capital gains taxes on the sale of qualifying real estate.

  • Leverage Your Equity. Trade up into a bigger and better replacement property and leverage your existing equity.

  • Move Your Property. A 1031 exchange is a great way to move from one geographic area or industry segment into another. You can exchange into a property located in a more tax-advantageous state, or into a completely different sector of the market.

If you own investment property (whether it’s a rental property, a retail property, a large commercial property, or something else), consider a 1031 exchange as a way to defer taxes on the sale of your property and keep your money working for you in a continued investment.
