Why You Should Consider a 1031 Exchange in 2021

1031 exchanges of real estate are alive and well. If you’ve been thinking about doing a 1031 exchange of your real property, 2021 may be the year for you. In this article, we are going to talk about why you should consider doing a 1031 exchange in 2021.

Defer Your Taxes!

The greatest benefit of a 1031 exchange is that you are able to defer your capital gains taxes on the sale of your property. There are, of course, a few caveats that come with this. You need to reinvest your net proceeds into a property that is greater than your relinquished property in value, equity, and debt; you need to complete the transaction within 180 days; all property needs to be like-kind and needs to be used for a qualifying purpose.

Keep Your Money Working For You!

In a 1031 exchange, you reinvest your sales proceeds from your relinquished property into a bigger replacement property. In essence, you’re taking money that would have otherwise gone to the government in capital gains taxes and instead keeping that money working for a you in a continued investment. This has the dual benefit of spurring economic growth and incentivizing taxpayers to keep reinvesting in the market.
