avvy investors understand the path to financial success begins with minimizing capital gains taxes.
This allows an investor to take money that would otherwise be sent to Uncle Sam, and instead re
invest it right away to more quickly build a real estate portfolio. One way to achieve this is by
harnessing the power of a 1031 exchange.
This powerful wealthbuilding tool allows you to trade up, consolidate, diversify, leverage or relocate your
property investments while avoiding capital gains and recapture taxes. With a 1031 exchange, you avoid taxes
each time you move from one investment property to the next.
