A 1031 Exchange can be a wonderful investment tool for real estate owners looking to defer capital gain taxes on the sale of appreciated investment property. That’s a driving reason why the 1031 Exchange remains so popular today, comprising an estimated 30% or more of the $500 billion of commercial real estate transactions conducted last year.*
As with any large financial decision, investors would be wise to conduct thorough due diligence and fully understand the benefits and risks before investing. The rules supporting a 1031 Exchange—and the popular DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) version of the exchange—can be confusing and aligning with an experienced and reputable advisor is important in seeing that your exchange is executed properly.
We have helped hundreds of clients with their 1031 and DST exchanges and we have learned over time, there are common questions that can help investors make well-informed decisions. For that reason, we have created our most recent eBook, Bringing Clarity to Your 1031 Exchange.
