Overview

A 1031 exchange, named after Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, allows real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds from the sale of an investment property into another similar (“like-kind”) property. When executed properly, it can serve as a strong tool for portfolio growth and tax planning.

Why Multifamily?

Multifamily properties are a well-established institutional asset class, supported by consistent demand across market cycles. In a 1031 exchange, they can provide diversified rental income from multiple tenants, helping investors transition into stable, income-producing assets while deferring capital gains taxes.

Key advantages of 1031 exchanges include:



Tax Deferral

Postpone capital gains taxes, allowing more equity to remain invested.



Portfolio Growth

Reinvest into higher-value or multiple properties without immediate tax liability.



Estate Planning

A step-up in basis upon inheritance may reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes for heirs.

The TIC Structure

To facilitate 1031 exchanges into larger multifamily assets, Sentinel Peak utilizes a Tenancy-in-Common (TIC) structure. This approach allows multiple investors to each hold an undivided, fractional ownership interest in a property while still qualifying for 1031 exchange treatment.

With TIC ownership, each investor is on title and enjoys the same rights as a direct property owner, but with the added benefit of professional management and access to institutional-quality multifamily assets that may otherwise be out of reach individually. This structure provides investors with:

Direct Ownership

Each investor is a deeded owner, maintaining eligibility for 1031 treatment.

Institutional Access

Ability to invest in larger, higher-quality properties alongside other accredited investors.

Professional Management

Sentinel Peak oversees all property operations, ensuring consistent execution and reporting.
