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

Your 180-Day Exchange Roadmap

Day 0

Close on Your Relinquished Property

Your old investment property sells. The proceeds go directly to a Qualified Intermediary (QI) — never to you personally, to protect the exchange.

Day 1-45

45-Day Identification Window

You must formally identify up to three replacement properties in writing. We present you with curated Arizona vacation rental options that match your financial profile.

Day 1-180

180-Day Exchange Period

You must close on your replacement property within 180 days of selling. Our team keeps the process on track with dedicated transaction management.

Day 180

Close & Begin Earning

You're now the owner of a cash-flowing Arizona vacation rental. Our property management team activates your listing immediately and optimizes for revenue.

Year 1+

Ongoing Management & Reporting

Monthly revenue reports, tax documentation, and reinvestment planning. We also help you plan your next exchange when you're ready to trade up.

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)

FAQs

  • Yes. Short-term rental properties qualify as long as you intend to hold them for investment and meet IRS rental-use guidelines.

  • Our Arizona market expertise means we present pre-vetted properties within your first week — giving you maximum time to decide.

  • Absolutely. Many investors chain exchanges throughout their lifetime, continuously deferring tax and growing their portfolio.
