What Is a 1031 Exchange? A Simple Guide for Real Estate Investors
Selling an investment property doesn't have to mean a big tax bill. This guide breaks down how a 1031 exchange works, the critical deadlines you need to know, and who this strategy makes the most sense for.

Qualified Opportunity Zones in 2026: Are They Still Worth It?
Qualified Opportunity Zones were one of the most talked-about tax strategies when they launched in 2017 — but are they still worth it in 2026? The answer is yes, and the timing has never been more urgent. With deferred gains from earlier investments set to be recognized at the end of 2026, investors with recent capital gains from a business sale, property sale, or large stock position need to act now. The 10-year tax-free appreciation benefit remains fully intact, making QOZs one of the most powerful long-term, tax-efficient growth strategies available to accredited investors today. At True North Private Investments, we help you find the right Qualified Opportunity Fund — and make sure it fits seamlessly into your broader financial plan.
