If you've ever wondered, "Can I buy more than one property in a 1031 exchange?" the answer is yes. In
many cases, an investor can sell one investment property and purchase multiple replacement
properties, provided IRS requirements are met.
That's one reason a 1031 exchange can be such a valuable planning tool. It gives investors flexibility to
diversify their portfolio, adjust cash flow, or reposition into properties that better fit their long-term
goals while deferring capital gains taxes.
September is when many investors begin thinking ahead to year-end decisions. Waiting until a property
is under contract is often too late to build the right strategy. A successful exchange requires planning
before the sale begins.
As a mortgage advisor… I believe financing should support the bigger financial picture, not just the next
transaction. Every investment decision has a cost over time, and understanding your financing options
before you sell can create opportunities you might otherwise miss.
If expanding, simplifying, or repositioning your real estate portfolio is on your radar over the next year,
now is a good time to start the conversation with your CPA, qualified intermediary, and mortgage
advisor.
