Understanding the Rules
of a 1031 Exchange

A 1031 exchange, named after Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, allows real estate investors to defer paying capital gains taxes when they sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds in a like-kind property. This powerful tool can significantly enhance an investor’s ability to build wealth over time. However, to fully benefit from a 1031 exchange, it’s essential to understand and adhere to the specific rules and requirements governing the process.

DST vs QOZ

Investors selling a business, art, stock, or other non-real estate assets may want to consider a QOF, since the 1031 is no longer available to any asset class besides real estate.

Either way, there are various potential advantages for both investment vehicles.
