When selling a business and an investment property, a gain is realized, (Internal Revenue Code) I.R.C. Section 1031 provides an exception that allows the tax on the profit to be postponed if the investor invests the proceeds in like-kind property with the help of a 1031 exchange consultant. Gain that is deferred under like-kind exchange of I.R.C. Section 1031 is tax-deferred, but not tax-free.

Definition 1031 Exchange

Do you know how does a 1031 exchange works? There are certain rules to consider. A properly structured 1031 exchange allows the investor to sell a property, to reinvest the proceeds and to defer capital gain taxes.

IRC Section 1031 (a)(1) states that:

“No gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of property held for productive use in a trade or business or investment if such property is exchanged solely for property of like-kind which is to be held either for productive use in a trade or business or investment.”
To understand the stability of a 1031 exchange offers, consider the following example for investors:

An investor has a $300,000 capital gain and acquires a tax liability of nearly $70,000 in combined taxes ( federal and state capital gain taxes, and depreciation recapture) when the property is sold. Only $230,000 remains to reinvest in other real estate property.
If we suppose 25% down payment and a 75% loan-to-value ratio, the seller would only be able to purchase a property worth $920,000.
If the same investor chooses to do a 1031 exchange, however, the entire $300,000 of equity would be able to reinvest in the purchase of $1200,000 in the real estate property, with the same loan-to-value ratios and down payment as above.
