Fairfield County 1031 Exchange Properties for Sale
A 1031 exchange can allow eligible real estate investors to defer certain capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds into qualifying like-kind replacement property. Blaise Punturo helps investors identify potential replacement properties in Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk and throughout Fairfield County, working alongside clients’ qualified intermediaries, attorneys and advisors.
What Is a 1031 Exchange?
Under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, investors can defer federal capital gains taxes when they sell a qualifying investment property and reinvest the proceeds into a like-kind replacement property within specific time limits. This powerful strategy allows investors to compound their wealth by keeping money that would otherwise go to taxes working in real estate.
1031 Exchange Rules and Timeline
45-Day Identification Period
After selling your relinquished property, you have 45 days to identify potential replacement properties. You may identify up to 3 properties regardless of value, or more properties subject to certain value limitations.
180-Day Exchange Period
You must close on your replacement property within 180 days of selling the relinquished property. Timing is critical — working with an experienced advisor like Blaise Punturo ensures you identify and close on the right property within the required window.
