From "Hands-On" to "Hands-Free": The 1031 Strategy for Centennial Investors

You have built great wealth in your Centennial rental property. But now you want your time back.

Smart investors are using the 2026 market to execute a 1031 Exchange. This allows you to sell your high-maintenance single-family rental and roll the proceeds—tax-deferred—into a passive investment like a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) or a triple-net lease property.

Stop fixing toilets and start collecting checks. If you want to explore how to trade up without paying capital gains tax, contact me to discuss your options.
