How the Lazy 1031 Works

A straightforward four-step process to defer capital gains and transition to passive investing.

1

Sell Your Property

Sell your rental property and receive your proceeds directly—no qualified intermediary needed.

2

Reinvest Same Year

Invest in a passive real estate syndication before December 31st of the same tax year.

3

Accelerate Depreciation

Cost segregation generates significant Year 1 depreciation—often 60-80% of your investment.

4

Offset Your Gains

Passive losses offset your capital gains, potentially eliminating your tax bill entirely.
