1031 Like-Kind
Exchange___________________________
A tax-deferred exchange allows the deferral of taxes incurred on the sale of
investment or business-use property, if the equity is reinvested in another
"Like-Kind" property.
§1031 of the Internal Revenue Code has certain requirements to obtain
this tax deferral, and many states' tax laws also allow the tax deferral.
The Four Essential Requirements are:
1. Like-Kind Properties;
2. Qualified Use Properties;
3. 45-day Identification Period and 180-day Exchange Period; and,
4. An Exchange.
This favorable tax treatment provides the benefit of leveraging all of the
equity in the "old" property to acquire a "new" property, without losing
investable equity to pay taxes.
