1031 Exchange
Defer capital gains taxes and reinvest in bigger opportunities with a strategic 1031 Exchange. At GavTax Advisory Services, we help real estate investors make the most of the powerful 1031 exchange strategy.
What is a 1031 Exchange?
A 1031 Exchange, based on Section 1031 of the IRS tax code, allows you to postpone capital gains taxes when selling investment property, provided you reinvest the proceeds into similar property. This effective tax strategy enables real estate investors to preserve equity, expand portfolios, and build long-term wealth.
At GavTax Advisory Services, we do more than handle paperwork. We provide strategic planning and guide you through every compliance requirement, ensuring your transactions meet all necessary standards.
Why Use a 1031 Exchange?
Real estate markets are thriving, offering investors valuable opportunities to scale their portfolios. A 1031 tax-deferred exchange gives you the ability to:
Defer capital gains taxes on appreciated property
Reinvest more capital into higher-income or better-performing properties
Consolidate or diversify your property holdings
Move into booming metro areas
Shift investments from rural areas to dynamic urban markets
Types of 1031 Exchanges We Support
Every investor’s situation is unique. GavTax Advisory Services offers expert guidance and tailored planning across all primary 1031 exchange options:
