If you own investment real estate in Massachusetts and are considering a sale, a 1031 exchange may allow you to defer capital gains taxes and reinvest the proceeds into qualifying replacement property. Blaxton Capital provides coordinated brokerage, exchange planning, and qualified intermediary support to help you execute the process correctly and on schedule.
What Is a 1031 Exchange?
Under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, an investor who sells qualifying investment or business real property may defer federal capital gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds into another qualifying property of equal or greater value. This is commonly referred to as a "like-kind exchange" or "1031 exchange."
To qualify, the exchange must meet specific IRS requirements, including the use of a qualified intermediary, a 45-day identification period for replacement property, and a 180-day closing deadline. Massachusetts investors may also need to account for state-level tax treatment.
A properly structured 1031 exchange can allow you to sell an underperforming or management-intensive asset and reinvest into a property that better fits your investment goals — without triggering an immediate tax liability on the gain.
