A 1031 Exchange is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available to real estate investors. By deferring capital gains taxes when selling and reinvesting into a like-kind property, investors can preserve equity, grow portfolios, and multiply long-term returns. However, the process is complex, time-sensitive, and requires expert guidance to execute successfully. At Core Properties, we specialize in helping investors navigate every stage of the 1031 Exchange process with confidence.

​

We begin by aligning the exchange with your financial goals. For some investors, the objective is stable cash flow; for others, it’s diversification, appreciation, or transitioning into management-free properties. By clarifying these objectives, we ensure the replacement property isn’t just IRS-compliant but also strategically aligned with your long-term investment strategy.

​

Timing is critical. With only 45 days to identify and 180 days to close on replacement properties, every decision must be precise. Our team leverages local expertise and national networks to uncover opportunities quickly—many of them off-market. We analyze each candidate property for rental income potential, tenant quality, appreciation trends, and risk profile so you can make informed decisions under tight deadlines.

​

We also coordinate closely with your tax advisors, attorneys, and Qualified Intermediaries (QIs) to ensure compliance with IRS regulations. From contract structuring to due diligence, we manage the details so you avoid costly mistakes that could disqualify the exchange.

​

For seasoned investors, we help structure multi-property exchanges, portfolio consolidations, or step-up strategies to maximize returns. For first-time exchangers, we simplify the process, providing education and transparency every step of the way.

In Texas—where population growth, corporate relocations, and infrastructure investment are fueling demand—1031 Exchanges create powerful opportunities to transition equity from mature assets into high-growth markets. With Core Properties as your partner, you gain more than transactional support—you gain a long-term strategy for tax efficiency and wealth creation.
