v2.31 - No Investor Left Behind: 1031 Exchanges
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A 1031 exchange (named for its section of the tax code) lets you roll real estate investment gains into a new property, deferring the tax and keeping all of your capital working. Dustin and Adam rank it as the second-biggest tax benefit in real estate, right behind depreciation.
But like almost anything involving the tax code, 1031 exchanges are full of gotchas and “it-depends.” In this No Investor Left Behind episode, they walk through the rules that make it work: the like-kind requirement, the 45-day and 180-day deadlines, and the “qualified intermediary” necessary to run it all.
They also cover a common question from passive investors: can you 1031 from one syndication to another?
Done over decades (“swap till you drop”), it’s one of the most powerful tools for keeping wealth. You just have to follow the rules.
