1031 Exchange Properties For Sale

Usually when selling investment properties, you need to pay taxes on the gain from the sale of the property. This gain can be from appreciation or from depreciation deductions. Using a properly structured 1031 Exchange allows an investor to sell a property, to reinvest the proceeds into a new property and to defer all capital gain taxes.

In order to defer fully all capital gain taxes, all exchange proceeds must be reinvested in the acquired property and the acquired property must have the same or greater value.
