Did you know there is a perfectly legal way to avoid paying Capital Gains tax on investment property?
Internal Revenue Code 1031 states: "No gain or loss shall be recognized if property held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment is exchanged solely for property of like-kind."
I recently attended a class on 1031 Exchanges and learned volumes about the process of exchanging one investment property for another. The "take away" is simple: investors avoid paying profits to the IRS and instead, use them to leverage another investment property. On a $200,000 sale, that can mean a $70,000 difference in capital to invest on the next property!
In a nutshell, prior to selling an investment property, the owner needs to choose a third party "Qualified Intermediary" who walks them through the process of abiding by the Internal Revenue Code. Then, once the property has been sold, the investor has 6 months to close on another investment property that has been identified previously.

Nice informative post dear keep it up........
The process of property investment is very different to that of buying a home for example, for you and your family to live in. There are many other considerations that must be taken into account before making this big step.
The buy to let boom of recent times has seen many more competitive mortgage deals become available, adding fuel to an already blazing fire. Many borrowers have found that they have come unstuck whilst jumping on the bandwagon without properly researching the proposed venture. Know more about this at http://www.yourpropertyclub.com
