How to Save on Taxes: Build a Fortune with 1031 Exchanges

Selling an investment property can create a great return.

But what happens to that capital next?

For real estate investors, one of the most powerful planning tools available under current federal tax law is the 1031 like-kind exchange—a strategy that may allow qualifying investors to defer recognition of gain when exchanging investment or business real estate for other qualifying real property.

But a 1031 exchange is not simply:
Sell one property. Buy another. Avoid the tax bill.

The structure matters.
The timing matters.
The property matters.
And mistakes made before or during the sale can affect whether the exchange qualifies at all.

At this month’s GRID Knoxville Investors Mastermind, we’re breaking down what real estate investors should understand before they need a 1031 exchange.

We’ll discuss:

what kinds of real estate may qualify
the difference between tax deferral and tax elimination
the 45-day identification period
the 180-day exchange deadline
how replacement property works
delayed, reverse, and improvement exchanges
common mistakes investors make
why planning before the sale closes is so important
how a Qualified Intermediary fits into the transaction

Joining us is Laura Huckaby of Old Republic Exchange Company, a seasoned 1031 exchange professional with more than 20 years of experience facilitating thousands of transactions, including delayed, reverse, and improvement exchanges.

Old Republic Exchange provides Qualified Intermediary services for Section 1031 exchanges, including holding exchange proceeds and coordinating with closing agents, tax professionals, attorneys, lenders, and real estate professionals.

Whether you’re preparing to sell your first rental, repositioning a portfolio, or simply want to understand how experienced investors think about taxes before they sell, this is a conversation worth having early.

The best time to learn about a 1031 exchange is before you need one.

Doors and networking kick off at 6:00, with content streaming live at 6:30.
