Specialist in Land & Investment Property

If you, as an investor, sell appreciated property, you will pay a tax. However, property that qualifies for preferential tax treatment under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 (IRC 1031) is treated quite differently. This states “ No gain or loss shall be recognized if property held for productive use in trade or business or for investment purposes is exchanged solely for property of a like-kind.”

Therefore, as an investor using the IRC Section 1031, you can exchange raw land for a rental home or rental homes for a commercial building without penalty The key is the use of the property itself. For example, you sell your raw land and buy an apartment building in exchange, which we can manage for you. You have deferred your taxes on the purchase itself while earning a monthly income on the rental units. Basically this means that it is possible to sell property and buy other like-kind property without having to pay the Capital Gains Tax. This way you can continue to invest without losing all your equity to taxes.
