Orlando Florida | What is a 1031 Exchange

 

 OK . . .     SO NOW WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION.....

 

1031 Tax Exchange is a way to defer taxes when purchasing a property.  Some reasons to change or swap an old property for a newer property vary. 

As Realtors we know the basics about tax-deferred exchanges, but you should consult with your financial professional to explain and map out your plan for using a 1031 Tax Exchange before you engage in a Real Estate Transaction.  There are many rules and regulations on a 1031 Tax Exchange and if they are not followed exactly you could be liable for taxes. 

Basically you should never have to pay income taxes on the sale of property if you reinvest the proceeds in like-kind property.

I love this cartoon!  It's so cute. 

I noticed that you have the Top Producer Market Snapshot on your Orlando Avenue blog.  I have this on my regular website front page and was going to add it to my outside blog also.  I was wondering if you get a lot of people signing up for this?

I'm not a big tax person...even though I do my own taxes every year...hmmm maybe I better rethink that :) I have only done one move between properties (out of state move - one house for another). I really can't remember the tax situation on it, but now I know to be aware of this when I buy/sell in the future.

I handle everything from contract to closing
1031 exchanges are a great tool for the investor.  Be sure your title company knows how to facilitate a 1031 exchange closing as well, it is not too much extra work, but the knowledge and know how can make a big difference on how smoothly the transaction closes!
