Like Kind Exchanges
A "like kind" exchange is also known as a Starker or 1031 Exchange. In sum, this type of exchange allows the Seller of an investment property to reinvest sale proceeds from the property into another investment property and defer the payment of capital gains taxes. These exchanges can be used as an extremely effective investment tool, but it is imperative that the set up and maintenance of the exchange are carefully attended to.
