Encumbered Properties and the Dangers of Rushing with 1031 Exchanges

One of the main encumbrances to a real estate portfolio is the misuse of 1031 exchanges. Many investors move too quickly, solely focused on the tax deferral aspect, without having enough financial resources to back their acquisitions. This becomes problematic when unexpected market fluctuations or personal financial challenges arise, forcing them to access cash and potentially jeopardizing their portfolio. It is important to approach 1031 exchanges cautiously and consider the long-term implications.
