1031 Exchange

Defer the tax, keep the capital

A 1031 exchange lets you sell one investment property and reinvest the proceeds in another while deferring the capital gains tax and depreciation recapture. This calculator estimates the federal and state tax a sale would trigger, so you can see what a like-kind exchange can keep working for you.
