The frequency with which you can perform a 1031 exchange is not limited by the IRS. As long as you adhere to the rules and requirements set forth under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, you can engage in multiple exchanges over time. This flexibility allows investors to continually defer capital gains taxes while reinvesting in new properties, thereby maximizing their investment potential.

To illustrate, let’s consider an example where you, as an investor, decide to engage in a series of 1031 exchanges using Deferred.com as your qualified intermediary.

Imagine you own a commercial property valued at $500,000, which you initially purchased for $300,000. You decide to sell this property and use the proceeds to acquire a larger commercial property worth $700,000. By utilizing a 1031 exchange, you defer the capital gains tax on the $200,000 gain from the sale of your original property.

With Deferred.com facilitating the exchange as your qualified intermediary, you successfully complete the transaction. Now, let’s say a few years later, the value of your new property has appreciated to $900,000. You decide to sell it and exchange into an even larger property valued at $1,200,000. Again, you can defer the capital gains tax on the appreciation by conducting another 1031 exchange, with Deferred.com handling the process.

This cycle can continue indefinitely, allowing you to defer taxes and reinvest your gains into increasingly valuable properties. The key is to ensure that each exchange complies with the 1031 exchange rules, such as identifying the replacement property within 45 days and completing the exchange within 180 days.
