Hi, this is Frank Chen with REIClub.com, the only site you need as a real estate investor. Today
I’ve got a quick video on how 1031 exchanges can boost your real estate investment business.
1.Defer Capital Gains
By using a 1031 Exchange an investor defers paying Capital Gain tax indefinitely. Generally, when you sell an investment property you pay the tax on the capital gain (profit). Between the IRS and State it can equal between 15 to 25%, tax, depending on what state you live in.
When you do a 1031 Exchange, taxes can be deferred ndefinitely, if you use the correct strategy. Taxes are deferred until you sell your property non exchange or until you die.
Upon death when heirs take the property, all former capital gains due are forgiven, so it is a great estate planning tool.
2. Time Value of Money
By using the Time Value of Money an investor uses the tax savings by reinvesting and earning more money over time.
3. Generate Cash Flow,
An investor can generate more cash flow by exchanging an investment property for a property with a higher cash flow. It can be done by exchanging to a bigger property or a similar property
that makes more money.
4. Diversification
Using a 1031 exchange allows an investor to move to different markets or move closer to home. With the market changing so much, it allows an investor to invest in an areas where the markets are hot having higher demands and property values.
5. Management Headaches
Exchange that property for another property that does not require so much work or responsibility. A good example would be switching from a residential apartment to warehouses or commercial tenants that do not require so much bookkeeping or working hours.
6. Dissolution
This is a good way to split up investment property when there is a partnership break up, divorce, or a death in the family. Trade one property for several smaller ones. Or trade a bunch of small
properties for one big one. Additionally exchange residential for commercial property. An attorney must be consulted so that all parties are in agreement and it is fair and equitable.
7. Real Estate Investing Strategy
All of these strategies will allow an investor to preserve equity because they are deferring taxes, and increasing the value of investments over time. Modifying an investors portfolio and leveraging your equity as well as estate planning.
