IPX 1031, a subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial, structures real estate exchanges in order to defer capital gains taxes that are associated with the sale of businesses or real estate properties. Such 1031 exchanges can defer up to 35%-40% of capital tax gains.

(You and/or your clients may want to discuss structuring your/their investment property as a 1031 exchange with your attorney or tax advisor.)

IPX 1031 included 310 cities with populations of 100,000+ residents to determine the best locations for new investment properties. The cities were ranked on the following criteria:

• Median home values
• Home value growth y/y
• 10-year population growth
• Annual property taxes
• Annual returns

IPX 1031 found that the top 30 cities had an average home value increase of +6% with an average annual yield of $6,150, after payments for mortgages, property taxes and homeowners insurance. IPX 1031 also considered the number of rent payments it would take to pay for the home based on median rents and median home values based on a 30-year fixed mortgage with a rate of 4%.
