What is a 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange?

 

When the proceeds from the sale of investment real estate are used to purchase other like-kind investment real estate, you should consider a Tax-Deferred Exchange. The use of an accommodator or qualified intermediary throughout your transaction is recognized as a safe harbor by the IRS.

The sale and purchase of investment property can be done as a delayed exchange or a simultaneous exchange. Both qualify for tax-deferment. There are important guidelines and tricky pitfalls you need to be aware of if you want total tax-deferment.
