1031 Exchange Rules

REAL ESTATE NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — California investors often find themselves owing hundreds of thousands of dollars when they sell an investment property. Investors want to avoid paying big taxes, which can often total 33%, when they sell a property to buy another property. A 1031 Exchange is therefore quite possibly the best investment wealth building tactic for real estate investors today, because the IRS Internal Revenue Code section 1031 rule allows those taxes to be deferred.

While the rules say that they must be of “like-kind” properties, they don’t actually need to be the exact same kind of property. There’s plenty of flexibility. 1031 Exchange works for different types of properties, so long as they are in the United States, and the property is a long-term holding investment, not quick-flip inventory. Two single family homes can be sold to buy one large loft condominium, or even to purchase just a fraction of a large group investment. The purchased property must be worth at least at much as the sold investment. For maximum tax benefits and reduced change of IRS audit, the owner should hold the property for at least two years. It’s ok to have rental tenants during that time, and it’s also ok to use the property for personal use for up to 10% of the time.

The investor must spend all of the cash from the property sale, towards the down payment to buy a property of equal or greater value. Within 45 days of filing initial paperwork for the 1038 exchange, the investor must submit a list of all of the properties that are under consideration for purchase. The investor may choose to specify three properties, or the investor may specify as many properties that total less than $2 million or 200% of the value of the sold property. The investor must complete the exchange and close on the replacement property within 180 days.

The IRS requires investors to use an exchange accommodator, a third party that takes an active role in the transactions that turn a sale and purchase into an exchange. The intermediary facilitates the transaction, acts as a legal straw buyer, provides consultation, does the paperwork and ensure IRS compliance.

How a Landlord can Retire: The DST

How to retire from being a landlord: When a landlord has had enough of managing properties, they can reduce their workload to more of a passive income by using a 1031 Exchange to buy into a DST

. This is ideal for investors who want zero responsibility for the selection and management of property. These DSTs are commonly diversified by split into different baskets, such as: apartments, self-storage buildings, Amazon distribution centers and medical offices.

Why You’re Worth 10X More Than You Think

REAL ESTATE NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — You don’t need to work a lot or make a lot to be one of the richest people in the world. You just need to know where the money is going and why, so you can get in front of the right wave at the right time. For example, just 10 hours of work at just $4 per hour bought 10,000 BTC in 2010. That $40 invested 12 years ago is worth around $200 million today. So, it’s not just how much you get paid, but how you get paid, and where you put the money. If you received that money in BTC instead of USD, and you did not spend it, you’d be one of the wealthiest people in the world today. This is only one example of many.

Contrary to what you might have heard in the mainstream news lately, the opportunities are not going away. In fact, they’re exploding upward in a massive array of super profitable new technologies, businesses and industries that where never anticipated by most of the so-called “experts.” Along with crypto and blockchain, there’s A.I.

Countless other industries are also doing better than ever before: health care, government, energy, defense, legal and DeFi decentralized finance, automation, robotics,
