SELL SMART. DEFER TAX.
BUILD WEALTH.

A 1031 Like-Kind Exchange lets you sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into a new one — without paying capital gains tax. We specialize in connecting exchangers with Arizona's most lucrative vacation rental properties.

Why 1031 Into Arizona Vacation Rentals?

Tax Deferral = More Capital

Keep 100% of your sale proceeds working for you. Compound growth on capital you'd otherwise owe in taxes accelerates wealth building dramatically over time.

Superior Cash Flow

Arizona vacation rentals generate 2–3× more monthly income than traditional long-term rentals. Scottsdale and Sedona command premium nightly rates year-round.

Depreciation Benefits

Short-term rental owners can use accelerated depreciation and cost segregation studies to create significant paper losses that offset active income.

Appreciating Market

Arizona real estate has outpaced the national average appreciation by 40% over the past decade, making it an ideal long-term hold after your exchange.

Perpetual Deferral

Chain multiple 1031 exchanges throughout your lifetime, deferring taxes indefinitely. Heirs receive a stepped-up basis, potentially eliminating the gain entirely.

Portfolio Diversification

Move out of multi-family, commercial, or raw land into cash-flowing vacation rentals — diversifying asset type while staying within IRS like-kind rules.

Who Qualifies?

  • You must have held the relinquished property for investment or business use

  • The replacement property must also be held for investment (not primary residence)

  • Both properties must be 'like-kind' — virtually any real estate qualifies

  • Proceeds must be handled by a Qualified Intermediary

  • You cannot receive the funds ('constructive receipt' disqualifies the exchange)
