New York, NY (PRWEB) May 01, 2015
IRA Financial Group, the leading provider of “checkbook control” self-directed IRA LLC solutions has seen a growth in demand from real estate investors looking for alternatives to the 1031 exchange for real estate investments. Thanks to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031, a properly structured 1031 exchange allows an investor to sell a property, to reinvest the proceeds in a new property and to defer all capital gain taxes. The basis behind the 1031 exchange is that when an individual or a business sells a property to buy another, no economic gain has been achieved. There has simply been a transfer from one property to another. The main 1031 exchange rules and requirements include: 1) same taxpayer: the taxpayer who sells is the taxpayer who buys, 2) property identification within 45 calendar days post closing of the first property, 3) purchase of the replacement property within 180 calendar days, 4) trading up: the price of the replacement property is equal to or greater than the old or relinquished property, 5) hold time supports the intent to hold for investment, and 6) related party transaction regulations. "With a self-directed IRA, one can buy real estate without triggering tax in contrast to a 1031 exchange which only defers tax, “ stated Adam Bergman, a tax partner with the IRA Financial Group. “In addition, the 1031 exchange is often quite expensive to do and requires one to navigate a number of complicated tax rules," stated Mr. Bergman.
The primary advantage of using a Self Directed IRA to buy real estate is that the transaction can be made by simply writing a check. In addition, all income and gains associated with the self directed Roth IRA LLC would grow without tax.
