INVESTOR RESOURCES

Preserve Equity and Keep Your Investment Moving

Selling an investment property can create significant tax consequences. A 1031 Exchange may allow qualified real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling one investment or business-use property and purchasing another qualifying replacement property — preserving more equity for your next investment in the Pocono Mountains.

WHY A 1031 EXCHANGE MAY MATTER

  • Defer capital gains taxes on the sale
  • Preserve more equity for the next purchase
  • Increase your buying power
  • Transition from one investment property to another
  • Diversify or consolidate real estate holdings
  • Relocate investment assets into the Pocono market
  • Support long-term wealth and estate planning goals

Timing is critical — investors must identify a replacement property within 45 days and complete the exchange within 180 days of closing. Speak with a Qualified Intermediary before listing.
