What Happens if We Lose 1031s?

Hey guys...I just read that the Biden Administration is seriously considering axing 1031s to pay for the next huge government sponsored spending plan (Family Plan). Besides the potential of eliminating the "step-up" basis killing the 1031 could be extremely detrimental to CRE and seeing a rebound to the economy.

And we all have heard what the administration is also considering for Capital Gains taxes...YIKES!

One option that looks to be sticking around is the Opportunity Zone program.  This (and maybe DSTs) could be the last way to shelter some deferred gains to keep Uncle Sam off your back for a while.  It also has several other benefits (bonus depreciation, reduction of tax payment on the deferred gain you invest in the OZ by 10% as per the 2021 regulations, and tax free returns after 10 years).  Lot's of promise here and could be a good way to preserve some of that long term wealth.

Good luck out ther.
