How to Avoid Capital Gains Taxes When Selling Investment Property

You use a 1031 Exchange.

*rather watch than read? youtube link

We actually closed 2 homes this month that utilized a 1031 Exchange, so this is really top of mind for me right now.


What is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 EXCHANGE allows real estate investors to swap one investment property for another and defer capital gains taxes, but only if IRS rules are met.


  • A seller must hire a qualified intermediary before you close on the property you want to sell.

  • Once the sale closes, the seller has 45 days to identify a Replacement Property(s), and 180 days total, to close on a Replacement Property(s). These timelines run concurrently and do include weekends and holidays.

  • The Replacement Property must be deemed “like-kind.” Simply put, the Replacement Property must also be used for investment, or a productive use in a trade or business.

  • In order to ensure the deferral of all gains from the sale of the property, the price of the Replacement Property must be equal to or greater than the net sales price of the original property.

What happens if you sell an investment property and buy another one and you DON’T use a 1031 Exchange?


You pay Capital Gains tax on the proceeds, which can be as high as 20-25% or more.

Thank you! Wendy will be in touch soon!

"on top of everything"

"Wendy helped us buy a new home while navigating turning our existing home into a rental property. She was on top of everything that needed to be done, patiently answered every question, was extremely well connected, and anticipated so many items before we even needed to ask about them"

- Justin and Courtney Seiter

"super-savvy & a joy"

"Wendy is well-connected, super-savvy, and an absolute joy to work with. She jumped quickly into action and I was impressed with how she marketed our property. Her hard work paid off -- our house sold in TWO DAYS and we got the price we wanted!"

- Garth and Laura Click

"continued to help"

"Wendy understands the challenging Nashville market. She patiently let us figure out what we really wanted, but kept us from making a couple real big mistakes. She's actually continued to help us with a couple hiccups, despite the sale being complete, which is amazing and not at all the norm."

- Matthew and Ayumi Bennett
