Our current, highly competitive real estate market poses specific challenges for investors who are considering taking advantage of a tax-deferred 1031 exchange. In this market, investors will have no problem selling their current property if priced properly, but they may find it difficult to find a suitable replacement property
Investors have multiple tools to defer tax liabilities when selling investment properties. The best known is likely a 1031 exchange - which has been around in some form or fashion for over 100 years. Installment sales have existed as part of the code for more than 75 years. Newer legislation (2017) created Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs)
It seems like every day there is another reason showcasing the reason why more and more investors are choosing to stay debt-free when investing in Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) properties in a 1031 exchange.
In the realm of real estate investing, the 1031 exchange Delaware Statutory Trust can provide savvy real estate investors a unique opportunity to achieve passive management, the potential for regular monthly distributions, and a way to enter one of the most tax efficient real estate investment strategies available today.
