Tax Deferral

Tax deferral means delaying the payment of taxes to a future date—often used in real estate through strategies like the 1031 exchange. Instead of paying capital gains taxes when you sell an investment property, you can reinvest the proceeds into another qualifying property and defer the tax. This allows your money to stay invested and compound over time. For investors looking to scale their portfolio without sacrificing returns to taxes, tax deferral is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available. Meridian helps clients leverage tax deferral strategies to reinvest intelligently and preserve capital.
