A 1031 exchange lets investors defer capital-gains tax by reinvesting proceeds from one investment property into another “like-kind” one — and Lake Keowee investment property can be the destination. This is an educational overview only; a qualified intermediary, your CPA, and your attorney own the actual execution and rules.
How a 1031 broadly works.
A 1031 applies to investment or business real estate exchanged for other investment real estate — generally not a primary residence or pure second home. Your CPA confirms eligibility.
A qualified intermediary must hold the proceeds between sale and purchase; you can’t take receipt of the funds. Engage one before you sell.
The IRS rules generally require identifying replacement property within 45 days and closing within 180 days of the sale. These windows are strict — plan the Lake Keowee side accordingly.
