1031 Exchanges
Maximize your investment potential by deferring capital gains taxes and repositioning equity into higher-performing assets. We specialize in guiding Los Angeles investors through the strict timelines and complex requirements of Section 1031.
Day 0: Close of Sale
The timeline begins the day your Relinquished Property closes. Sale proceeds must be held by a Qualified Intermediary (QI), not the seller.
Day 45: Identification Period
You must identify potential Replacement Properties in writing. This is a strict deadline with no extensions. We help you source on-market and off-market opportunities well in advance.
Day 180: Exchange Period
You must close on the acquisition of your Replacement Property. The purchase price must be equal to or greater than the net sale price of your Relinquished Property to fully defer taxes.
Exchange Expertise
- Deep inventory of off-market upleg opportunities.
- Relationships with trusted Qualified Intermediaries.
- Rigorous underwriting to ensure cash flow improvement.
- Seamless coordination with your tax and legal advisors.
A 1031 exchange is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available to real estate investors, but the execution requires precision. A missed deadline or incorrect filing can result in a massive tax liability.
We don’t just find you a property; we find you the right property that aligns with your long-term goals—whether that’s increased cash flow, fewer management responsibilities, or geographic diversification.
