How Section 1031 Exchanges Defer Capital Gains on Real Estate

In this episode of The Tax Strategy Podcast, Lucas and Luna break down Section 1031 like-kind exchanges – a powerful IRS provision that lets real estate investors defer capital gains taxes indefinitely when swapping properties. Using a concrete example of a rental duplex owner in Austin moving up to a fourplex, they walk through the 45-day identification window, the 180-day close rule, and the risks of boot and mortgage mismatches. They also explain how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act restricted 1031 to real estate only (ending its use for art, aircraft, and collectibles). Perfect for property investors, landlords, or anyone considering a real estate sale in 2026. No bait-and-switch – just the mechanics and a real deal example. #Section1031 #LikeKindExchange #CapitalGainsDeferral #RealEstateTax #1031Exchange #IRS #TaxDeferral #PropertyInvestor #Boot #QualifiedIntermediary #TCJA #RealEstate #TaxStrategy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #TaxPlanning #InvestmentProperty Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
