Discover the Power of 1031 Exchanges
In 1921, Tax Rates hovered near 73%; Congress created a solution that still fuels America!
The 1031 Exchange: A Century-Old Idea Still Powering America Forward
Few parts of the tax code have shaped America’s cities, skylines, neighborhoods, and investment markets more than the humble §1031 exchange. Born in 1921, in the aftermath of World War I, Congress introduced this provision as a way to keep capital flowing during a fragile economic recovery.
What began as a simple mechanism to encourage reinvestment has become — over more than a century — one of the most effective tools for revitalizing communities, fueling small-business owners, and supporting long-term wealth building.
From the rise of post-war development to the modern era of opportunity zones, §1031 exchanges have quietly channeled billions into underserved areas, enabling investors to reposition assets, take entrepreneurial risks, and keep capital circulating where it’s needed most.
It’s one of the rare tax concepts that has survived every political era — because it works.
At Investment Counsel Exchange (ICE), we see firsthand how this century-old strategy continues to reshape markets.
Our role is simple: We educate, coordinate, and help investors understand how to use these tools responsibly and effectively.
