When you sell a real estate investment, you make capital gains, or at least that’s the hope. Those profits come at a price, though. You’ll owe taxes on the income, which depletes the money you earn. The 1031 exchange or like-kind exchange is a way around the tax issue.

✔️ A simultaneous 1031 exchange occurs when you sell a property and buy another on the same day. You transfer the profits from one property to another, never taking possession of the cash, which would trigger the tax liability.
✔️ A deferred 1031 exchange occurs when you sell a property, and within 45 days find another property to invest in.

If you’re interested in learning more about 1031 Exchange or if you have any questions, let us know. We would be more than happy to help.

Cheers to a new year! Remember, a dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan, backed by action, makes your dreams come true! What’s your New Year Resolution?✨

The holidays are just around the corner, so it’s time to get creative with your Christmas decor. From pared-down wrapping paper to glitzy accessories, “the most wonderful time of the year” is packed with unlimited design potential.

Here are a few ideas to help you find just the right look for your home this holiday season:

🔸Bring the snowy outdoors to your dining room table by coating the surface with a medley of whites, creams, and ivories.
🔸 A wreath is a fail-safe way to bring the holiday spirit to any room. Want to take this Christmas staple up a couple of notches? Adorn it with gilded baubles.
🔸 Well-appointed gift-wrapping can give your space a festive, photogenic finishing touch. Keep it simple with a neutral palette and a stray twig.
🔸Streamline the decorating process by committing yourself to a color palette. Whether it’s white on white or traditional red and green, decide on a clear direction and ensure any newly purchased items coordinate

May your Holiday decor be merry, bright, and oh so beautiful.✨
