Defer Capital Gains
A 1031 exchange allows real estate investors and real estate developers to defer capital gains by "exchanging" property for the same type of property. At its core, a 1031 exchange simply occurs when you either 1) make a simultaneous trade for like-kind property, or 2) sell the property and use the proceeds to purchase more property. 1031 exchanges are also referred to as "like-kind exchanges."

In addition to using a qualified intermediary, it is important to involve your other advisors and counselors when entering into a 1031 exchange. At Lonestar 1031, LLC, we recommend you discuss the exchange with your legal and tax advisors at length to assure that your 1031 exchange will be successful. At a minimum, you should tell your lawyer, CPA, and realtor that you are intending to do a 1031 exchange.
It is also very important to communicate with the title company on each leg of the transaction. The closing agent needs to know whether there is a 1031 exchange because it will affect the closing statements along with the other documents that are executed at closing.
Because Lonestar 1031, LLC is a local qualified intermediary, we have good working relationships with title companies, CPAs, law firms, and realtors in Amarillo and the surrounding areas of the Texas panhandle. Our goal is to work with your team to complete a hassle-free exchange.
