Wealth Building
By exchanging assets and deferring tax, the return potential is higher. For example, at a 10% ROI on a $10 asset with $2 being paid in tax for the exchange, the asset amount after Year 1 is $8.80. However, the tax deferred asset amount is $11 after Year 1. This preservation of equity via exchanging is a powerful wealth building tool.
This preserved equity base not only benefits from property appreciation, but greater equity typically means that a taxpayer can qualify for a larger loan, thus leveraging the preserved equity to acquire a more valuable property. Through a 1031 exchange, the taxpayer can preserve his or her equity, and allow for the compounding effect of a larger equity base to build substantial wealth over time.
