What is a 1031 Tax Exchange?

Get "Real" Tips From Rita

A 1031 Tax Exchange exchange is a specifically structured transaction that joins together the sale of an old property and the purchase of a new property for the purpose of deferring taxes. Exchanges are primarily used for buying and selling investment real estate. Examples of qualifying property include bare land, rental property, commercial buildings and homes other than your primary residence.

"Rita Richcreek was the perfect professional to help us buy our first income property. After years of hard work we had saved a small nest egg we hoped to invest it in a quality property. Rita looked over our situation and helped find just the right place for us.

The San Francisco Bay Area can be a very unforgiving market for a beginning investor, but Rita guided us through the entire process without a hitch. Today, we are the successful owner/ managers of a 20 unit apartment building and are planning further investments with Rita."
