What Types of Property Qualify for a 1031 Exchange? 17 Property Types That Do (and 7 That Don’t)
A 1031 Exchange only works for real property held for investment or for productive use in a trade or business, and since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, that definition is narrower and more technical than many investors realize. This guide lays out—in plain English—the types of real estate that typically qualify, the assets that do not, and the gray‑area scenarios where the IRS will drill into your intent and holding pattern. Drawing on IRS guidance, Treasury regulations, and nearly four decades of deal experience from Michael R. Linton of Linton Global Solutions, you will learn how to evaluate your own properties before you ever start a 1031 timeline.

“Tax‑Free” 1031 Exchange? The Hidden Tax Time Bomb Smart Investors Defuse
This episode tackles one of the biggest misconceptions in real estate investing: the idea that a 1031 Exchange is “tax‑free.” Michael Linton breaks down how the tax actually works, why the IRS calls it tax‑deferred, what happens to your basis each time you exchange, and how estate planning and the step‑up in basis can turn decades of deferral into a permanent tax elimination for your heirs under current law. https://hiremikelinton.com/inside-1031-deal-flow-podcast
