Selling property can give a good impact on your portfolio. This would be the best decision you can take maybe. So, always try to do be intellectual in earning.

In this article, I have mentioned the main four reasons you should sell the property.

1. Keep in Mind that You Want to Sell.
The one important point is that you want to sell your property and you are also planning for it.  Zero or less planning can lead your deal to a big fiasco. Keep patience and make proper adjustments. Any impulsiveness in making a decision or in the planning phase would be a big mistake. As a real estate investor, your priorities should be calmness and being a strategic one.

Cash flow is a major factor in your life. It changes with the minor change in your expenses.  So, any rental income that gives you negative cash flow is not for your use. The property that cannot afford your expenses makes no sense to be yours. When you make strategies, keep in mind the property that gives you consistent negative cash flow. You should sell that property first. It is not compulsory to sell it immediately but this would be your priority.


3. Troubled Property.
Is there your any property that is stuck? Is there any property that is making continuous trouble for you?

No more hitches. You can invest in your new business by selling your property. Yes, for the betterment of future you have to sell your property.

1031 Exchange and Real Estate Investment



The 1031 exchange rule was not there at the time of Benjamin Franklin. This is the reason that he believed in the inevitability death and taxes. While the death is certain, 1031 exchange rule can surely save you from taxes if you are doing real estate business.

The IRS
According to the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26, Section 1031, “No gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of property held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment if such property is exchanged solely for property of like-kind which is to be held either for productive use in a trade or business or for investment."

In this scenario, the like-kind property actually means other real estate. It doesn’t really mean that a deal must be based on land-for-land or office-for-office exchange.

It also means that if your property exchange qualifies for the 1031 exchange rule, you will either have no or limited tax to pay at the time of exchange. Good thing is that you can do 1031 for as many times as you get provided that you qualify for it. You may also be able to get profit on each swap. However, you will have to pay taxes if you are selling the property for cash.


Keep swapping
It means that you can actually sell an investment land to get an office rental property. The difference of price is going to be like a profit for the one giving high valued real estate. However, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind.
  • Investor must be selling the investment property. This rule doesn’t apply on residential properties.
  • The exchange should of the properties of like kind. It means that any other real estate can do.
  • The exchange should be done by meeting certain deadlines and time frames.

Things you cannot do
There are certain restrictions for certain properties and scenarios here. There cannot be a 1031 exchange for:
  • Properties that are held for resale and stocks in trade
  • Bonds, notes and stocks
  • Evidence of indebtedness
  • Certificates of trusts

Government as your partner
If your property qualified for a 1031 exchange and you have taken care of all of the deadlines and time frames too, then you can grow your holdings by making government your partner. With an increase in the value of properties in business, you can trade for high valued rentals while avoiding taxes. This way, you will be able to plow the money into the next transaction instead of paying taxes from it.
