A 1031 exchange, named after Section 1031 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, allows investors to defer paying capital gains taxes on the sale of an investment property by reinvesting the proceeds into a similar "like-kind" property.
By continuously exchanging properties, investors can build substantial wealth while deferring taxes until they eventually sell or pass properties to heirs with a stepped-up basis.
Opportunity Zones are economically distressed communities where new investments may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, these zones offer powerful incentives for long-term investments.
These zones represent a unique opportunity to generate returns while contributing to community development and economic revitalization.
In commercial real estate, the lease is the primary driver of property value. Unlike residential properties valued mainly on comparable sales, commercial properties are valued based on their income-producing potential.
Property value is typically calculated using the capitalization rate:
Strong leases increase NOI and lower perceived risk (cap rate), resulting in higher valuations.
Commercial real estate valuation uses several approaches to determine a property's worth, with the income approach being the most common for investment properties.
Values property based on the income it generates using the capitalization rate formula:
Compares the subject property to similar properties that have recently sold, adjusting for differences in size, location, condition, and lease terms.
Estimates the cost to replace the building, less depreciation, plus land value. Most useful for special-purpose properties or new construction.
