FAQ's
What is a 1031 Exchange?
Real estate investments can be lucrative assets. However, when it comes time to sell, real estate also incurs capital gains taxes that weaken your profits. Fortunately, you can implement tactics that reduce capital gains taxes so you can keep more of your money when you sell a property.
You have two options:
- Sell the property and pay capital gain taxes, or
- Sell the property via a 1031 exchange
When you do a 1031 exchange, you’re basically swapping selling the property to buy a new one. By doing so, the IRS allows you to defer taxes. So instead of paying 20-40% taxes (depending of your tax bracket), you can use that money to buy a larger real estate.
Why Massachusetts Investors Use 1031 Exchanges
Massachusetts is one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the United States. With strong population growth, expanding economic activity, and consistent rental demand, Massachusetts has become a top destination for investors looking to upgrade properties through a 1031 exchange.
A properly executed 1031 lets you:
• Defer 100% of capital gains taxes
• Trade into better, higher-yielding assets
• Increase cash flow and long-term appreciation
• Consolidate or diversify your real estate portfolio
• Leverage Massachusetts’ strong and stable rental market
Whether someone is selling a local rental property or completing an out-of-state exchange into Massachusetts, expert guidance is essential to meet IRS timelines and compliance requirements.
Investors commonly exchange into:
• Single-family rentals in key growth corridors such as Greater Boston’s northern suburbs (Somerville, Medford, Malden), MetroWest communities like Framingham and Natick, and Worcester County’s expanding towns
• Multifamily properties in value-add neighborhoods across Boston’s Dorchester, East Boston, and Roxbury, Worcester’s Canal District, and Lowell’s mill-renovation areas
• Short-term rentals near major attractions or business hubs including Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Boston’s Back Bay and Seaport, and Berkshires tourism towns
• NNN commercial properties backed by strong tenants throughout Boston’s Route 128 tech corridor, Cambridge’s biotech cluster, and logistics zones along the I-495 belt
• New construction rentals offering strong depreciation benefits in fast-growing regions such as Worcester, Springfield’s suburbs, Haverhill, and Brockton
Whatever the investor’s goals—cash flow, appreciation, tax savings, or diversification—Massachusetts offers multiple viable replacement property paths.

How does a 1031 Exchange Work?
STEP 1: Seller “Exchangor” decides to sell investment property.
Prior to closing of the sale, Exchangor must engage an Intermediary (aka Qualified Intermediary “QI”, Facilitator, or Accommodator) to facilitate the exchange. If Exchangor receives funds instead of the Intermediary, a 1031 Exchange is voided.
STEP 2: Proceeds of sale are wired to Intermediary.
Net proceeds of sale are wired to the Qualified Intermediary for placement in a Qualified Escrow Account “QE” with a federally insured institution.
STEP 3: Identify properties to buy within 45 days.
Exchangor must identify replacement property(ies) by midnight of the 45th day by a written document delivered to Qualified Intermediary.
STEP 4: Close on replacement property by day 180.
Exchange funds held by Qualified Escrow Account are transferred to the replacement property closing by the 180th day.
In summary: From the sale date, the Exchangor has 45 days to identify replacement property, and 180 days to close on the identified replacement property.
Modern 1031 Exchange vs Other
For the past 30 years, the 1031 Exchange industry has been ripping you off.
In the 1031 exchange industry, it’s common for intermediaries to hold your money in an interest-bearing account and retain the interest earned on your funds. In a $5 million exchange, interest can exceed $100,000—all of which is typically kept by the intermediary.
This practice costs investors valuable additional income—on top of the exchange fees they already pay.
We’re doing things differently.
To start, we’re partnered with the only intermediary that offers a No Fee Exchange. Plus, we share the interest earned on your funds because it’s your money—and you deserve to benefit from it. Our share of that interest covers our fee, meaning you get the security, support, and expertise of a top-tier intermediary without any hidden costs.
