Maximize Your Investment with a 1031 Exchange

Taco Bell Chart

A 1031 exchange is more than just a tax deferment strategy—it’s an essential tool for building long-term wealth and optimizing your real estate investments. This IRS-approved method allows investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling an investment property, provided the proceeds are reinvested into a like-kind property. By leveraging a 1031 exchange, you can preserve capital, scale your portfolio, and enhance cash flow without the immediate tax burden.

At Summit Net Lease, we specialize in seamless 1031 exchanges, guiding investors through the complexities of the process while ensuring compliance with IRS regulations. Whether you’re looking to upgrade to a higher-value property, improve asset performance, or diversify your holdings, our team helps you execute a strategic exchange with confidence.

How It Works

At Summit Net Lease, we specialize in seamless 1031 exchanges, guiding investors through the complexities of the process while ensuring compliance with IRS regulations. Whether you’re looking to upgrade to a higher-value property, improve asset performance, or diversify your holdings, our team helps you execute a strategic exchange with confidence.

By meeting the 1031 exchange criteria, you defer capital gains taxes, allowing more of your money to remain invested and generating higher long-term returns.

Sell Your Investment Property.

Identify a property you wish to sell and list it for sale. Once sold, the proceeds must be held by a qualified intermediary (QI)—you cannot take direct possession of the funds.

Identify a Like-Kind Replacement Property.

Within 45 days of selling your original property, you must identify one or more potential replacement properties that meet IRS requirements.

Reinvest & Close Within 180 Days.

You must complete the purchase of your chosen replacement property within 180 days of selling your original asset. The entire transaction must be facilitated by your qualified intermediary to maintain tax-deferred status.

Key Benefits of a 1031 Exchange.

  • Tax Deferral – Postpone capital gains taxes and reinvest the full proceeds into a new property, keeping more capital at work for you.
  • Portfolio Growth – Move into higher-value or better-performing assets to increase cash flow and appreciation potential.
  • Diversification – Exchange properties to adapt to market conditions, shift into different asset classes, or expand into new geographic areas.
  • Wealth Preservation – Leverage 1031 exchanges repeatedly to continually grow your investment portfolio while minimizing tax liabilities.
  • Estate Planning Advantages – Upon inheritance, properties receive a step-up in basis, potentially eliminating deferred capital gains taxes for heirs.
