1031 exchange—you need to put that term in your brain, especially if you’re in real estate and looking to buy and sell properties. Instead of paying taxes every time you sell with a markup, consider a 1031 exchange. This isn’t for everyone, and you cannot use it for your primary home—that’s very important. But for investment properties, you can reinvest the proceeds into a like-kind property and defer your capital gains tax. This can be a powerful tool for real estate investors looking to grow their portfolio while reducing tax liabilities.
