The Basics
Investors can expect to pay 15% to 20% of their capital gain in Federal Taxes, plus any state taxes that may apply, after selling an investment property. The tax liability can be substantial, depending on the transaction. A qualified exchange will allow investors that are looking for additional investment opportunities will have the ability to transfer assets without paying a considerable amount of the sales proceeds to the government. If the investor’s goal is to buy another investment property, then the exchanging is an investment worth thinking about.
