IRS Code 1031 allows you to defer paying capital gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds of the sale of your investment property into another investment property of equal or greater value.
About the 1031 DST Option
If you already have investment real estate, or you’re considering buying property as an investment strategy, the 1031 Exchange may empower you to significantly increase your wealth. Not every property is eligible for the 1031 Exchange. Complex tax rules and time frames require expertise to navigate. But with Kevin Hughes and Emerson Equity to guide you, you’re in good hands.
Below is some information about 1031 you’ll need to know before getting started.
IRS Rules- Timing is critical
Once the sale of your property closes, you have 45 calendar days to identify the replacement property and 180 calendar days to close on the purchase. The IRS allows the identification of more than one property subject to specific rules as to how many properties can be identified and the value of the identified properties.
You need to choose a Q.I.
You are never allowed to have effective control of the funds from the sale of your property and are required to use a Qualified Intermediary (“QI”) or accommodator. This is a vital part of the process and an agreement with the QI must be in place before your property sale closes. The QI holds the sale proceeds, the paperwork and facilitates the funds and title transfer for the purchase of the replacement property.
Everything needs to match up
Lastly, title of the new property must match that of the property sold and allows for co-ownership structures such as Tenants In Common and Delaware Statutory Trusts. Converation with a Qualified Financial Advisor are mandatory to participate in this complex program.

How can Kevin hughes help you?
While specific opportunities are constantly changing, they can often include a number of different property types. These properties are located throughout the country.
Most exchange opportunities typically only require a minimum investment of $100,000. This gives you the ability to invest in multiple properties, allowing you to potentially diversify your risk by investing in more than one location or property type.
Once we have had the opportunity to learn about you and your investment goals, we can provide multiple investment properties for you to consider as part of your 1031 exchange.
