When 1031 Deferred Gain is Forgiven
A Powerful Wealth Builder and Estate Preserver 

sunsetA 1031 tax-deferred exchange enables investors to build their real estate portfolio with pre-tax dollars but is also a powerful estate preservation tool.

 

While a 1031 exchange is tax-deferral strategy, there are ways to completely avoid the tax. And you can do many exchanges during your lifetime. Essentially, with your first exchange you create an I Owe You (IOU) to the IRS and each time you do a subsequent exchange, you add to that IOU. If you sell a property without doing a 1031 exchange, some or all of that IOU will have to be paid to IRS. If you never sell without exchanging, when you pass away, your heirs inherit your property with a stepped up basis (which means at the fair market value at the time of death). A stepped up basis erases the IOU to IRS and your heirs will not have to pay any tax on the gain you deferred. Using 1031 exchanges, you have the opportunity to build your real estate portfolio using pre-tax dollars - creating a larger portfolio and greater cash flow. The ultimate strategy is to defer, defer, die.

Dear Friends,

 

The phrase "dog days of summer" seems like an understatement this month! The heat makes us all want to kick back and take it easy but there has been no relaxing at 1031 CORP. After talking about it for some time, 1031 CORP. and R.E.I. Consultants, a qualified intermediary in Media, PA, are now working together. We are grateful for the trust of Richard Heller, Esq., CCIM, CES® and Joe Szajnecki, CES® and are eager to work with both of them and their clients. All new exchanges will be handled by 1031 CORP.

 

Fortunately, we are also seeing a nice increase in new 1031 transactions and all of the residential and commercial real estate professionals are telling us there is more activity on the horizon. Definitely a good sign that things are continuing to improve. Speaking of professionals, we are launching the next phase of our website development which will include a wealth of tools and resources specially for real estate professionals, attorneys, accountants, title agents, lenders and financial advisors. If there is anything you'd like to see there, please let me know.

 

In closing, our Fall calendar is quickly filling up. If you would like to schedule a 1031 seminar or CE class for your group, please contact me at margo@1031CORP.com.

 

Stay cool!

Best regards,

Margo
