A 1031 exchange provides the opportunity of deferring taxes by swapping one investment property for another. However, the nuances of 1031s can be tricky to understand, so we’ve asked Mr. 1031 himself, Dave Foster, to join us and help explain the basics of a 1031 exchange. We discuss why the time constraints of 1031s are unattractive to investors, some solutions for deferring tax and maximizing a 1031, the costs related to 1031s, and how to overcome the challenges that may arise when investing in a 1031.
