CALL US NOWHow Safe Harbor Exchange Works
A 1031 exchange transaction happens just like a standard real estate transaction with 3 key differences:
You must hire a Qualified Intermediary like Safe Harbor Exchange to facilitate your exchange before you close on your sale.
Your funds can't go into your bank account. We will direct and protect your funds until you are ready to purchase your replacement property.
Once you've sold your property, you have 45 days to identify what you want to purchase next and 180 days to successfully complete your exchange. We are here to help every step of the way.
Why Exchange?
Investors are subject to as many as 4 layers of tax when selling an investment property:
Federal capital gains taxes (15% - 20%)
State taxes (varies from 0% in FL to 13.30% in CA)
Investment income taxes (3.8%, if applicable)
Depreciation recapture taxes (25% of what you've depreciated)
These 4 layers of tax can add up to nearly 40% of your investment gains!
With a 1031 exchange, you can defer all of these taxes.
Other Benefits
1031 exchanges offer investors the following opportunities:
