When you sell an investment property, you are usually faced with a big capital gains tax bill, if you’ve held the property for more than a year. For properties held for less than a year, you’ll owe ordinary income tax on your gains. Either way, it can be a big tax bill, but there is a way to push that tax bill down the road, and possibly eliminate it altogether with a 1031 Exchange.

As you may know, the 1031 Exchange is a wonderful tax break tool that allows you to sell your investment property and buy a replacement property of equal value or more with the same amount of debt on it or more. By doing that, you can postpone the tax you might owe. Under current laws, if you hold it until you die and pass the property on to your heirs, the value of the property will be stepped up to the current market value, and your heirs will owe nothing on your former tax bill.

In this episode, you’ll hear from longtime 1031 exchange facilitator, Dino Champagne. She’s the Vice President and Division Manager of the Los Angeles office of Asset Preservation, Inc. and has more than 20 years of experience doing more than 15,000 exchanges nationwide. She will explain the three most important rules for a 1031 exchange along with all sorts of other issues that you might encounter and what you can do to deal with them.
