The biggest advantage of a 1031 exchange is that you can avoid having to pay capital gains taxes on the sale of an investment property. In order to perform a successful 1031 exchange you must comply with rules and qualification requirements.

- Must Not Receive “Boot”
- Same Tax Payer (exception to this rule occurs in the case of a single member limited liability company)
- 45 Day Identification Window (An exception to this is known as the 200% rule. In this situation, you can identify four or more properties as long as the value of those four combined does not exceed 200% of the value of the property sold)
- 180 Day Purchase Window
