Key Investment Concepts
1031 Like-Kind Exchange
Sell an investment property and defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds into a like-kind property within IRS timelines (45-day ID, 180-day close).
Cap Rate & Cash-on-Cash
Cap rate measures unlevered return. Cash-on-cash measures your actual return on invested cash. Both matter — and Wes helps you run real numbers before you make an offer.
Step-Up in Basis
When real estate passes to heirs, the cost basis steps up to current market value — eliminating capital gains accumulated during the original owner’s lifetime. A powerful estate planning tool.
Depreciation Benefits
Investment real estate can be depreciated over 27.5 years (residential), creating a paper loss that offsets rental income — one of the most powerful tax advantages available.
