Why 1031 Exchanges Are a Trap for Real Estate Investors with Brett Swarts

from Property Profits Real Estate Podcast · host Dave Dubeau

Dave digs into Brett’s contrarian take on 1031s and the risks of “equal or greater value/debt” replacement during tight deadlines. Brett breaks down how a properly structured installment sale with a dedicated trust (under IRC 453) can defer capital gains, allow flexible reinvestment (real estate equity or debt, diversified portfolios, even new ventures), and help investors “sell high, buy low.” He shares real client examples, common objections (legality, trustee control, fees), practical timelines, and how interest vs. principal payouts are taxed.     - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?
