Defer Taxes & Reinvest with Confidence

Unlock the power of Section 1031 to defer capital gains tax and keep your real estate equity compounding. Our end-to-end 1031 Exchange guidance helps you smoothly sell investment property and acquire your ideal replacement - all while staying IRS-compliant and on schedule.

What is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 Exchange (IRS code Section 1031) is a tax-deferred strategy that enables real estate investors to sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into another “like-kind” property without incurring immediate capital gains taxes.

In essence, the transaction is treated as an exchange rather than a sale, allowing you to postpone the tax bill and use more of your sale proceeds to purchase the next property. This powerful provision encourages investment and portfolio growth by letting you roll over gains continuously.

Key requirements include adhering to strict timelines and reinvesting all proceeds into one or more qualifying properties to defer the entire gain.

Critical Rules & Timelines

Understanding these rules is essential for a successful exchange

45-Day Identification Period

After selling your property, you have 45 calendar days to identify potential replacement properties in writing. This window is inflexible and includes weekends and holidays.

180-Day Exchange Period

From the sale closing, you must close on the purchase of your replacement property within 180 days. The 180 days includes the 45-day ID period.

Qualified Intermediary (QI)

You cannot take possession of sale proceeds. A Qualified Intermediary must hold the funds and facilitate proper money flow.

Reinvestment Requirement

To defer all tax, purchase replacement property of equal or greater value and use all cash proceeds. Any shortfall triggers taxable gain.

Why These Rules Matter

They form the backbone of 1031 exchanges. We make sure you don't miss a deadline and structure your transaction correctly, so your exchange stays valid. We'll help you get a Qualified Intermediary set up before your sale closes and create a reminder timeline for your milestones.
