Save on Capital Gain Taxes with an Like-Kind Exchange
When you sell your interest in an investment property and buy another, you  may face a larage capital gain and the prospect of paying federal taxes on it - and in some states, state taxes as well.
A 1031 Exchange allows you to dispose of investment peoperties and acquire "like-kind" properties while deferring federal capital gains taxes.  Most states with capital gains tax offer a similar tax advantage, too. Bottom line: a 1031 Exchange lets you reinvest sale proceeds that would otherwise be paid to the government as capital gains taxes.
 
"Like-Kind" Properties:
Most real property is considered "like-kind" to other real property. A single-family rental unit, for example, may be used to acquire another like it. or to purchase a warehouse, retail center, or office building.  Like-kind limitations on personal property are more restrictive; assets must be classified similarly under government accounting classifications.
 
Non-Tax Benefits of Exchanges
In addition to deferring the capital gain tax, tax deferred exchanges provide the investor with a wide range of non-tax opportunities to suit the investor's portfolio:
Reposition assets
Change property types
Increase leverage
Increase depreciation deduction
Reduce management obligations
Provide for estate and retirement planning
