1031 Exchange Explained

1031 Exchange Explained

A tax-deferred exchange is a method by which a real estate investor trades one or more relinquished commercial real estate for one or more replacement commercial real estate of like-kind, while deferring the payment of federal income taxes and some state taxes on the transaction. In turn, internal revenue code provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of commercial real estate held for productive use in a trade or business. The theory behind internal revenue code is to allow the real estate investor to reinvest the sale proceeds into another commercial real estate, foregoing any economic gains that may have been realized from the sale.
