1031 EXCHANGE

DEFINITION:

At its simplest, a 1031 exchange refers to the exchange of certain types of like-kind property, where the owner may defer capital gains typically due upon sale. The Internal Revenue Code, Title 26, Section 1031 says: "No gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of property held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment if such property is exchanged solely for property of like kind which is to be held either for productive use in a trade or business or for investment."

WHY IS THIS USED?

Basically, an investor can swamp or exchange their property without cashing out or recognizing a capital gain, thus allowing the investment to grow tax deferred. There is not a limit on how often or how many times an investor is able to do a 1031 exchange, so it’s possible to avoid capital gains taxes over a long-term period.
