1031 Exchanges:

When investing in real estate, there are many financing options to choose from. We have years of experience helping investors find the smartest way to finance an investment property. One of the ways our team can assist is through a 1031 Exchange. 

A 1031 Exchange is a swap of one investment property for another that allows capital gains taxes to be deferred. The name is derived from IRS code Section 1031, which lists the rules and limits associated with this type of exchange.

When a 1031 Exchange occurs, you'll either have no tax or limited tax due at the time of the exchange. Most real estate swaps are taxable as sales, so this exchange is uniquely available only to those who meet the specified requirements. The 1031 rule is popular among investors for use with investment and business properties, and the rule can also be applicable for primary residences and vacation homes.

Savvy investors can utilize these rules in various ways to allow capital gains taxes on these properties to be deferred. To fully reap the benefits of a 1031 exchange in real estate, however, it is best to entrust a team of seasoned agents that are familiar with and can walk you through the process.

Buying Real Estate In Your IRA

Another route to investing is through purchasing real estate in a self-directed IRA. Under certain conditions, real estate can be held through an IRA. This process is much more complex than dealing with financial assets, so investors must be prepared to become thoroughly familiar with all of the steps and rules of this process. To many, the benefits (appreciation of real estate assets, diversified portfolio, tax-free rental income) fully outweigh the risks of this tedious process. 

When buying a property with an IRA, most investors can expect a high rate of return. However, some essential things to note when contemplating this route include the fact that neither you nor your family can utilize the property and that this process often requires investors to buy a property fully in cash. 

If an investor chooses to pursue this route despite its risks and intricacies, it may be helpful to consult with a team of agents who are familiar with the process. We have years of experience navigating the tax implications of buying a property with an IRA and are passionate about sharing our expertise with curious and motivated investors.
