Who likes paying taxes? No one! With real estate investing, many investors have utilized the 1031 Exchange as a vehicle to defer their capital gains tax exposure to a later date. Now, Opportunity Zones have created another tax deferral strategy that’s becoming very popular. In this podcast, Lance Growth from Growth 1031, a nationwide 1031 qualified intermediary, talks about the similarities and differences between the two – and why every investor’s mantra should be “defer, defer, and defer”.

Listen to “Defer, Defer, Defer. 1031 Exchanges vs Opportunity Zone Investing” on Spreaker.

Growth 1031, Inc. is a 1031 Exchange accommodator headquartered in San Diego, California, facilitating 1031 transactions and representing clients nationwide. A 1031 Exchange allows investors to defer capital gains tax on the selling of a qualifying asset that are “like kind” – however the process involves many restrictions, mostly from a time-constraint perspective. Enter Opportunity Zones, which also have their time-constraint issues, but may make a good option should a 1031 exchange fail (which sometimes happens), or if you have capital gains taxes on non real estate related assets. Both strategies have pros and cons, so understanding which tax deferral strategy to utilize is of utmost importance. Employing these strategies correctly should help you defer taxes and build wealth. Listening to this podcast will explain how Mr. Growth and his company can help you with that. He can be reached by email or you can contact him direct by phone at 619-991-1031.
