What Does It Mean to Build a “Wealthy Lifestyle”?

Building a “wealthy lifestyle” isn’t about investing long hours in hard work – it’s about putting your money to work for you, and improving your quality of life.

One of the best ways to build wealth is through owning real estate. Required Properties is highly specialized in the private capital space (~$2M to $10M), and we believe in the future of this type of investment throughout Colorado. Our clients are private individual and institutional investors, family offices, and business owners who want to capitalize on their real estate post-retirement. We provide the guidance, education, and empowerment to help them evaluate assets throughout their full lifecycle to drive higher returns, helping them work less while opening the door to creating and preserving more value from their investments.

What Is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 Exchange is a swap of like-kind real estate properties that allows for deferral of capital gains taxes. Essentially, it’s a tax break that can be used to exchange an existing investment for a new one. When used correctly, there are no limitations on how frequently 1031 Exchanges can be used.

Market conditions in Colorado make 1031 Exchanges a great fit for many investors. For example, if you sell that Denver Metro apartment building for a great sale price, it doesn’t make financial sense to then invest in a different high-sale-price apartment building nearby. Instead, you may wish to use a 1031 Exchange to swap your apartment building for a like-kind investment property in a different asset class – enabling you to tap into new opportunities with greater earning potential while diversifying and growing your investments and reducing or deferring taxes.
