IRS EXCHANGE RULES
The IRS gave property investors a way to defer paying capital gains tax on a sale of an investment property. This can save you lots of $ because you can trade UP and scale UP your investment properties. As long as you don't touch ANY of the profits (gains) and reinvest into a NEW investment property (or properties) within the conditions set forth by the IRS (more on this below)...you don't pay Uncle Sam a dime. This, my friends, is how you grow your real estate portfolio over time.
1031 Exchange Rules Overview
1. Property Requirements
Must be held for investment or used in taxpayer's business.
Cannot be stocks, bonds, or partnership interests.
