At Black Diamond Realty, one of our goals is to
educate
our clients and help them
build wealth
over time via real estate investments and holdings.
Tremendous perks exist in real estate that are not available through investing in stocks, bonds or other investments.
One of those major perks is a 1031 tax exchange
. A 1031 tax exchange can be described as a real estate transaction without immediate tax implications to the seller.
It is important for you to understand your tax bracket and effective tax when completing a 1031 transaction. You do not simply sell an asset and walk away with the net amount on the closing statement. Your transaction is, most likely, subject to capital gains and depreciation recapture. We recommend all clients
consult their accountant
to better understand the ins and outs of their tax liability associated with any contemplated transaction. With that disclosure in mind, consider how a seller’s capital gains tax liability is one wealth building tool permitted by the federal government.
In a traditional transaction, the seller is subject to capital gains and depreciation recapture. This article is only focusing on capital gains. A capital gains tax is defined as a tax on the increase in the value of an investment.
Short-term capital gains
are characterized as gains from a sale in which an asset was owned for less than one year. Short-term capital gains are taxed according to your income tax bracket (seven total tax brackets in 2018).
Long-term capital gains
are classified as monetary gains in which an asset was owned for more than one year. Click on the button below to read more.

Valley Worlds of Fun to close after 46 years of business
According to JP Morgan Chase, “Roughly a third of new businesses exit within their first two years and half exit with the first five years.” 46 years ago, Bob Martin had a vision to give children and families a fun, safe and reasonably priced opportunity to enjoy indoor entertainment and recreation. For almost five decades,
Valley Worlds of Fun
has been a mainstay in our community. July represents their last month in operation. We encourage you to visit one last time and thank the Martin family for their service to the community.
