Description

Ever wonder why pension funds and ultra-wealthy investors hold onto real estate for decades? They almost never sell. It's not luck; it's a strategy.

In this episode of 5-Minute PRIME Podcast, host Martin Maxwell pulls back the curtain on Section 1031 of the Tax Code. This isn't just a tax loophole; it's a powerful wealth-building engine that institutions use to defer capital gains taxes indefinitely—a mechanism that adds over $97 billion to the U.S. GDP annually.

Tune in to learn:

  • The "Pension Fund Secret": Why mastering tax deferral—not just appreciation—is the key to exponential portfolio growth.
  • The Mechanism: How a Qualified Intermediary (QI) works and the fatal, multi-million dollar error of "constructive receipt."
  • Like-Kind Myth BUSTED: Why you can (and should) exchange an apartment for an office, or raw land for a retail center, to reposition your portfolio tax-free.
  • The "Triple Threat" Strategy: How to combine a 1031 Exchange with a Cost Segregation study and the new 100% Bonus Depreciation to generate massive first-year deductions.
