Goes without saying, real estate is one of the top asset classes for the wealthiest people in the world, with 10% of all billionaires fortunes were built in real estate, according to Forbes.
And while real estate remains a valuable wealth hacking tool, many Americans fail to take advantage of a trick that could dramatically lower their tax bills on real estate profits.
So one of the secrets to real estate investment is a little-known trick (outside real estate) known as the “1031 exchange,” allowing you to defer all your capital gains taxes on your recent real estate score.
“Surprisingly, many investors are not aware of this,” EVP of Madison 1031 Michael Brady told me back in 2015.
(This is when I first got introduced to it.)
“Even real estate lawyers are asking us about it,” he said.
These exchanges are named after section §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. By taking advantage of this loophole, investors can reap big breaks on appreciated real estate assets.
“Astute investors use 1031 exchanges to diversify their portfolios, exchanging one high priced property for several smaller properties,” Brady told me, “or investing their money in regions where bargains are easier to find.”
Use of these exchanges has been increasing among professional real estate buyers. According to an early 2014 report (yes, it’s old) by universal REIT authority NAREIT, the overall 1031 exchange activity level among REITs was up.
In fact, one REIT back then did around $85 billion in 1031 transactions. Mind you, that’s a professional real estate operator that knows every trick in the book.
How they do it…
Here’s how the 1031 works in practice:
You sell a property at a profit. Within 45 days, you find one or more replacement properties — worth the same or more — that you want to defer the money to.
From there, the taxes from the profits made from the first property can be “deferred” and used for your next real estate deal.
Internet influencer Grant Cardone breaks it down here. According to himself, he says he’s never “paid any taxes.” (With the 1031, that is.)
Here’s the cool thing: This process can be repeated as much as you want, as many times as you want, until you either die, or decide you don’t want to invest anymore.
So there you have it, you too could avoid paying taxes, billionaire-style!

Meanwhile our project management software grants us 24-hour TEAM-WIDE connectivity that tracks all tasks and lets us know if productivity dips even a little bit.
