Section 1031 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code  allows investors
to defer capital gains taxes on the exchange of like-kind properties.  
1031 (tax-deferred)  exchanges hold great advantages for investors.

1  Real Property Use

Both, your old and new property must qualify as investment or business use.
If both properties pass this test, you can exchange nearly any type of real estate.

2  45 Days Identification Period

You have 45 days from the closing of your sale to list the properties you may
want to buy.  There are no exceptions to this deadline.

3  180 Days Exchange Period

From the sale closing date, you have 180 days to close on the purchase of
one or more properties from the 45-day identification list.  There are no
exceptions to this deadline.

4  Qualified Intermediary

The IRS mandates that you use a Qualified Intermediary to provide your
exchange.  Because the Qualified Intermediary must be independent, it cannot
be your friend, employee, accountant, broker or attorney.  The Qualified
Intermediary holds your money, so that you do not have access to it.

5  Proper Title Holding

You must purchase and take title to your new property exactly as you held title
to your old property.

6  Reinvestment Requirement

To defer all of your capital gain tax, you must buy a property equal or higher
in value than the one you sold.  Also, you must reinvest all of the cash
proceeds from your sale.
