A 1031 exchange represents a solid strategy for deferring the capital gains and recaptured depreciation taxes when selling and replacing like-kind, real and personal property held for productive use in a trade, business or for investment. These tax deferrals, along with asset liquidity, are the core benefits of the 1031 exchange.
Chris Kim was referred to Atlas 1031 Exchange by his Realtor to accommodate the 1031 exchange of vacant land for a rental property in different cities in Texas. The old or relinquished property was sold and the exchange proceeds were wired to an escrow account established under his tax identification number in Leesport, Pennsylvania with VIST Bank. Chris identified a couple of properties as potential replacement property by the 45th calender day post closing. After negotiating the purchase contract for rental property, the closing was held and the exchange proceeds were wired the day before the closing.
