Gibraltar 1031 provides industry leading exchange services for 1031 Tax Deferred Exchanges.

Myth: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ridiculously gutted Section 1031.

Busted!
It didn't.

The final law left Section 1031 fully intact. Same deferral, same rules.

The confusion comes from the bill changing other tax opportunities around it such as Opportunity Zones, depreciation, or SALT.

The 1031 tax-deferred exchanges stayed intact.

So... good news! 1031 exchanges haven't changed a bit. Call us with questions or your 1031 needs. 310-986-8092

Does “like-kind” mean you have to exchange one rental house for another rental house?

No. And this is one of the most common misconceptions about 1031 Exchanges.

For 1031 purposes, “like-kind” refers to the nature or character of the property, not whether the properties look alike or serve the exact same purpose.

That means qualifying investment or business real estate may include:
Single-family rental properties
Multi-family properties
Office buildings and retail centers
Commercial and industrial properties
Farmland
Undeveloped or raw land held for investment
Certain Tenant-in-Common (TIC) interests
Qualifying Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) interests

In other words, an investor may be able to exchange farmland for an apartment building, raw land for commercial property, or a rental home for another qualifying real estate investment.

What generally does NOT qualify?
Properties held primarily for personal use, such as a primary residence, generally don't qualify. Neither does real estate held primarily for sale, such as certain flips or development property.

Stocks, bonds, notes, partnership interests and other securities or intangible assets generally aren't eligible real property for a 1031 Exchange either.

The key isn't whether the properties are identical. It's how the properties are classified and held.

Mortgage rates hit above 7% this week. 7.03% to be exact.

Why? Well, a number of reasons including the Fed’s rate increase last week, the anticipation of another Fed increase at the next meeting, U.S. and other countries’ federal deficits needing to be financed, the cost of oil, 10-year Treasury yields at their highest point in 19 years, and more!

But, let's compare rates to previous years!

October 2022 = 6.94%
October 2023 = 7.79%
October 2024 = 6.72%
October 2025 = 6.54%

When you're choosing a Qualified Intermediary (QI), experience matters. But so do the protections they have in place if something goes wrong.

E&O stands for Errors & Omissions Insurance.

Simply put, it provides protection related to professional mistakes, errors, or failures in the services provided. E&O Insurance is another layer of protection and accountability behind the professionals managing your exchange.

GB 1031 Exchange carries professional liability coverage (E&O Insurance) as one of the many safeguards we have in place to protect our clients and their investments.

When you entrust a QI with something as important as your exchange and your money, layers of protection matter.

Before choosing a QI, it is imperative to ask what protections they have in place.

By working with GB 1031 Exchange, you are choosing safety you can trust.

“We take security seriously.”

Okay. But what does that actually mean?

When you're choosing a Qualified Intermediary to hold your 1031 Exchange funds, don't settle for the word secure.

It's important to ask what secure looks like.

At GB 1031, it looks like segregated accounts.
It looks like vetted, FDIC-insured banking institutions.
It looks like electronic AND verbal wire confirmation.
It looks like multiple people involved in authorization.
It looks like decades of industry experience and expertise without a single instance if fraud.
It looks like dual signatures on outbound wires.
It looks like E&O insurance, Fidelity bonding and above industry standard cybersecurity protections.

Because when we're entrusted with your exchange funds, “trust us” just isn't enough.

We'd rather show you.

Experience matters. So does knowing your exchange funds are protected.

If you’re looking for a QI that takes both seriously, call us. 310-986-8092

Big news!

FinCEN has issued its final rule under the Corporate Transparency Act, permanently removing the requirement for U.S. companies and U.S. persons to report beneficial ownership information (BOI) to FinCEN.

The rule took effect August 14, 2026, and there’s another important update: FinCEN says it will delete previously reported information it reasonably believes belongs to U.S. persons from its BOI database.

What does the final rule mean?

→ U.S. companies are no longer required to file BOI reports.

→ U.S. persons with FinCEN IDs no longer have to update or correct information they previously provided.

→ Foreign reporting companies no longer have to report U.S. person company applicants.

→ Certain foreign pooled investment vehicles are exempt from reporting BOI for U.S. persons in control of the investment vehicle.

→ Foreign entities that remain reporting companies will still be required to report BOI for foreign individuals.

For real estate investors and business owners, the takeaway is simple: a compliance requirement that created a lot of questions over the past few years has now been permanently rolled back for U.S. companies and U.S. persons.

As regulations change, knowing what applies to your transaction — and what no longer does — matters.

Gibraltar 1031 Exchange is here to help keep you informed throughout the exchange process.

Don't start planning your 1031 exchange when you're selling.

Start planning when you're still deciding whether to sell.
Why?

Because once your property is under contract, the clock starts moving quickly.

The more planning you've done ahead of time, the more options you'll typically have.

That means more time to:

*Define your investment goals.
*Talk with your tax and legal advisors.
*Understand your exchange timeline.
*Explore replacement property options.
*Assemble the right team. Ahem, with GB 1031 as your QI.

Good planning doesn't guarantee the perfect investment.

But it does give you more choices. And better decisions usually come from having more choices.

If you're ready to start planning, call GB 1031. 310-986-8092

The headlines tell one single story. But here's the reality.

Good investments don't disappear because rates rise.

This is probably the biggest misconception.

Higher rates can certainly make deals harder to structure.

But they don't eliminate opportunity.

In fact, some investors view periods of higher rates as a chance to negotiate better pricing or acquire properties with stronger long-term fundamentals.

What deals have you been seeing?
