MassLandlords: Real Estate Events for Education & Networking

A 1031 exchange is a tax-deferred exchange of real estate that will allow you to have more money to reinvest in rental real estate: you can sell your current building and buy a new one, deferring capital gains and depreciation recapture tax from the sale of the first property. We'll explain what this means. In a nutshell: Depending on the value of your property and whether or how long you have been depreciating it, you may be able to defer tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.

We will explain:

• How the 1031 exchange came to be.
• Examples of things you can exchange.
• Whether second homes and owner-occupied properties can be exchanged.
• The detailed process including timelines.
• When you may still have to pay some tax.
• And much more.

A Section 1031 exchange must be initiated before you sell and then executed along demanding timelines. You should learn how before you start.

Attendees will leave knowing whether a 1031 exchange may be right for them and if so, how to go about it.

Part of this event will be presented by Albino Caporale, Esq, President and CEO of the Exchange Authority, LLC. He has led the Exchange Authority since 2022. Prior to this he was the Executive Director of CATIC Exchange in Hartford. During his 10 years in the industry, he has overseen thousands of 1031 exchange transactions. He received his Juris Doctorate from the Quinnipiac University School of Law in North Haven, CT with a concentration in tax law.

Our event host and emcee is Sage Jankowitz. Sage is the owner of Cambridge Sage Real Estate, a real estate agency providing leasing, multi-family sales, landlord consulting and development services in Cambridge, Somerville, Medford and Malden. Sage is an advertiser, service provider and MassLandlords volunteer with a deep passion for all things landlords and multi-family real estate.
