1031 Exchanges: What Investors Need to Know
"Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing." — Warren Buffett
When done properly, 1031 exchanges can be a smart move for investors who are looking to sell property and then reinvest in another property. With the tax-deferred 1031 exchange, you'll avoid paying capital gains taxes — but there are strict rules and complicated guidelines you must follow.
As Investopedia advises:
"Special rules apply when depreciable property is exchanged in a 1031. It can trigger a gain known as ‘depreciation recapture' that is taxed as ordinary income. In general, if you swap one building for another building you can avoid this recapture. But if you exchange improved land with a building for unimproved land without a building, the depreciation you've previously claimed on the building will be recaptured as ordinary income. Such complications are why you need professional help when you're doing a 1031."
As you can see, things can get confusing fast. But that's why we're here.
