Here's What's Happening In The Market, Here’s What This Means For You
Does Biden Administration Look to Jeopardize Benefits of 1031 Exchanges?
In a recent Green Street report, sources say that “while prior administrations have suggested ending 1031 exchanges, chances are better now that it will happen.” The threat is real. One of the differentiators this time is the amount of stimulus that has been pumped into the economy, and, not surprisingly, policymakers are looking for revenue to offset the debt that has been created.
Biden has proposed ending 1031 exchanges to help fund his proposed child care and family-leave legislation. There also are ongoing talks over increasing capital-gains taxes, which would hurt institutional owners more but would still cut into private-capital profits.
Some owners are choosing to sell now even though doing so would incur taxes, and others are waiting to see what happens with the tax code. If wealthy individuals lose the favorable tax treatment, they are less likely to sell properties moving forward. Owners whose cost of capital increases because of harsher tax treatment likely will hold properties longer.
Feel free to give me a call to discuss your options and
whether or not it makes sense for you to sell now or wait.
