1031 EXCHANGES
Investors with existing real estate holdings that they are looking to sell may want to consider a 1031 Exchange as a means for deferring taxes. We help investors identify income producing properties or new developments and assist all the way through the 1031 Exchange process. We have led several investors through 1031 Exchange transactions, and we handle the ongoing management of real estate assets so investors don’t have to.
