A 1031 exchange can be an excellent tool for building wealth over the long term. In this article, we are going to discuss how a 1031 exchange can help you compound wealth over time.
A Typical Sale
In a typical sale of real estate, the seller is responsible for paying capital gains taxes on the net proceeds from the sale. Depending on the value of the property, this can be a sizable tax bill that the seller has to bite the bullet on. Sometimes this potential capital gains tax bill is so high it can discourage property owners from selling.
The 1031 Exchange Alternative
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code provides an excellent, tax-advantageous alternative to selling property outright. In a 1031 exchange, the seller does not keep their net proceeds. Instead, they reinvest those net proceeds into a new replacement property that is higher in value, equity, and debt compared to their relinquished property. When done correctly, the taxpayer is able to defer their capital gains taxes on the sale.
This allows you to avoid a potentially huge tax bill and also keep your money working for you – compounding interest over time in your new replacement property investment.
