A 1031 exchange, named after Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, is a tax-deferral strategy that allows real estate investors to sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into a “like-kind” property—without immediately paying capital gains taxes.
This powerful strategy enables investors to:
Defer Capital Gains Taxes
Keep more of your profits working for you instead of paying hefty taxes upfront.
Preserve & Leverage Equity
Roll over your gains into a larger or more profitable investment, compounding your wealth over time.
Optimize Portfolio Growth
Strategically upgrade, consolidate, or diversify your real estate holdings while maintaining tax advantages
Increase Cash Flow & Appreciation
Transition into higher-yielding properties, expanding your portfolio’s earning potential.
