What is a 1031 Exchange?
A 1031 Exchange, also known as a like-kind exchange, is a tax-deferred strategy used by real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling one property and reinvesting the proceeds into another “like-kind” property. This powerful tool allows investors to grow their wealth without being burdened by immediate tax obligations.
