1031
Exchanges

A 1031 exchange is an IRS
safe harbor. If you follow the rules exactly right, you
can sell one piece of property at a profit, buy another
piece of property, and not owe a dime of income taxes at
the time of the sale. It's all the rage among investors
"in the know," but incomplete knowledge can lead to
audits, taxes, and ruinous penalties and interest. The
rules are not difficult- it's just that few people ever
take the time to explain them to non-lawyers or
non-accountants.
For example, how do you rate
yourself? A newbie, somewhat knowledgeable, or very
sophisticated? Now, take the test. Can you tell the difference
between the truth and the deadly myths in the list
below?
- 1031 exchanges are tax
free;
- If the 45th day after sale is a weekend
or holiday, sellers have until the next busines day to
identify their replacement
property;
- Sellers have at least 180 days after sale
to close on a replacement
property;
- Property flippers can do one 1031
exchange per year;
- Property flippers can do as many 1031
exchanges as they want, so long as each property is held
for at least one year and one day;
- It's always a good idea to do a 1031
exchange if you can find appropriate replacement
property;
- You can invest all your cash from the
sold property into the new property, have the advantage of
the 1031 benefits, and then take out a mortgage the next
day in order to get back your
cash.
ALL of the
statements are false. After
one extremely painless and even-dare I say it?-fun filled
three-hour seminar, I'll shatter all these myths. PLUS I'll
clue you into the other tips and tricks to take full advantage
of this powerful IRS tax benefit, or just sound like an expert
when talking to others.
