The tax strategy that lets real estate investors keep more of what they earn — and reinvest it faster.
A 1031 Exchange — named after Section 1031 of the U.S. tax code — allows real estate investors to sell a property and defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds into a new "like-kind" property. Instead of paying taxes on your profit, that money stays in play and keeps growing. It's one of the most widely used and legally sound wealth-building tools in real estate.
Your proceeds go directly to a Qualified Intermediary, not to you.
You must formally identify your new property in writing.
The full exchange must be completed within 180 days of your original sale.
For investors working with RBA Equity Partners, the 1031 Exchange is often the entry point to acquiring high-quality, income-producing net lease real estate. RBA is structured specifically to move at the speed these deadlines demand — evaluating, underwriting and closing replacement properties within the 1031 window.
