# [What You Need to Know About 1031 Exchanges](https://blog.livinginsouthreno.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-1031-exchanges)

If you own an investment property it is important to understand what a 1031 exchange is and the rules and tax implications for this type of real estate transaction. We recently sat down with Geneva Martinkus, President Exchange Counselor with Allied 1031 Exchange, to help highlight how 1031 exchange rules work for investment properties.  

### What is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 Exchange is a vehicle created by the IRS that allows a property owner to defer payment of capital gains tax from the sale of investment property. The sale proceeds are placed into an Exchange account with a qualified intermediary, such as Allied 1031 Exchange, and are then used to acquire a new investment property.

### Why Exchange?

By deferring payment of capital gains tax, a property owner will have more capital available to acquire a new investment property. This will allow the investor to purchase more expensive property and/or receive greater cash flow on an income-producing investment.
