As long as your property has been used for investment, you can qualify! Section 1031 of the IRS code lets you sell your property and buy a new property without paying any taxes if you simply follow the specific rules.
Between the sale and purchase, a qualified intermediary holds the proceeds of the sale of the relinquished property, prepared the legal documents and ensures that the entire process is completed within the IRS guidelines.
Per IRS rules and regulations, the taxpayer may not receive the proceeds or take constructive receipt of the funds in any way, without disqualifying the exchange.

A 1031 exchange is a method of tax deferral upon the sale of investment real estate. However, the decision to pay or not pay accumulated and/or deferred taxes is up to the taxpayer, who has control over whether transactions are completed tax-deferred, or tax-free! If an exchanger should decide to continue exchanging into investment property of same or greater value for life, and never sell investment property without utilizing a 1031 exchange, no taxes would be due on any transactions, making them tax-free! Even in the event the taxpayer dies, the taxes die with him, again making the transactions tax-free! Because the choice is up to the taxpayer, we like to say taxes in an exchange are deferred, unless you choose to sell tax-free with Plenti Financial!
