1031 Exchange

Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code allows a real estate investor or an owner of an investment property to exchange their property, thus deferring payment of state and federal capital tax gains. This is applicable if they purchase a “like-kind” property that adheres to the regulations and rules of the IRS 1031 exchange. This will allow the investor to use all of the proceeds from the sale to acquire a more valuable real estate holding, diversify into other properties, increase their cash flow, or consolidate into one property to reduce management tasks. read more..

The IRS 1031 has many benefits and most investors are aware of the major ones, yet there are some lesser known benefits that can offer investors a good advantage. The reverse 1031 real estate exchange is one such benefit and is a fairly new development. It allows investors to purchase the replacement property prior to selling the old property. A Qualified Intermediary must hold one of the titles, as the investor is not allowed to hold both at the same time, and this does tend to make it a more costly transaction. It is very useful in markets where properties sell quickly. read more..

If a real estate investor wants to make use of the Internal Revenue Code 1031 but thinks that it is only available to an investor with a multi-million dollar property, they would be mistaken. The 1031 exchange is perhaps the most powerful tool that an investor has available to them if they want to sell their property and even get out of any type of property management as well. read more..

A 1031 exchange property deal involves a person changing an asset, or property, for another asset, or property; or as the Internal Revenue Service calls it, a “like kind” exchange, no matter whether it is in an office, industrial, retail or residential sector. One reason why people take advantage of this is that when the real estate market is in a rapid appreciation, the sale of a property can result in large capital gains and the 1031 tax free exchange acts as a tax deferment. Although there are still some complicated aspects to the rules of an exchange, the Internal Revenue Service has simplified them. read more..

While using the 1031 tax deferred exchange is considered a good deal for investors, there are transaction fees and costs involved. The fee structure of a 1031 property exchange is normally dependent upon certain factors, such as the risk that is taken on by the Qualified Intermediary for fair compensation, which is apart from the work that they perform. read more..

The 1031 exchange is normally used by an individual who wants to sell one of their investment properties but does not wish to pay taxes on the transaction. In order to get around this, the 1031 real estate exchange will allow the seller to defer the taxes if they purchase another property that costs as much as the one that they are selling. Keep in mind that there are strict regulations and laws concerning this, and be warned that if you happen to write a blog about the rules or even the deadline, then the information must be exactly correct or it will immediately invalidate the 1031. read more..

From their humble beginnings in 1790, with traders meeting under a tree on Wall Street in Philadelphia, comes the stock exchanges of today. It may have started in Philadelphia but by 1817 all of the market actions were in New York and the name became the New York Stock Exchange. Several years later competition set up across the street, or actually on the street, as the New York Curb Exchange started out by meeting on the street until they moved inside in 1921. They became the American Stock Exchange in 1953 and began conducting international exchanges. Shortly after that the NYSE Euronext (the parent company of the NYSE) acquired the ASE and they became the New York Stock Exchange Amex in 2008. read more..
