For Physicians & High-Income Professionals Keep More of What You Earn: How Physicians & High-Earning Professionals Can Use 1031 Exchanges to Build Generational Wealth

You’ve worked hard to get where you are — long nights, high stress, massive responsibility. Whether you're a physician, dentist, specialist, or another high-income professional — you’re rewarded well for that expertise. But the moment you sell an investment property? Uncle Sam wants a huge piece of your success.

Capital gains taxes can wipe out 20–35% of your profit — unless you know how to play the game strategically.

That’s where a 1031 exchange becomes a power move. And having a trusted real estate partner like The Solomon Group (Coldwell Banker Heritage) ensures you aren’t navigating this opportunity alone.

What Exactly Is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 exchange allows you to:

✔ Sell an investment property
✔ Reinvest your profits into another income-producing property
✔ Defer all capital gains taxes

The result? Instead of losing capital to taxes, you roll the gains into a more profitable or more appropriate asset — while allowing equity and cash flow to keep compounding.

For high-income earners, that’s the difference between average and extraordinary wealth building.

Why This Strategy Is Perfect for Doctors & Professionals

 

You want to grow your portfolio — but your time isn’t your own.

Between schedules, patients, and leadership roles, the last thing you want is landlord stress or complicated tax planning.

Here’s what 1031 exchanges give you:

Benefit

Why It Matters to High-Earners

Tax deferment

Keeps 100% of capital compounding instead of losing 20–35% to taxes

Portfolio upgrade

Trade low-ROI assets for high-cash-flow investments

Retirement planning

Create predictable passive income for life beyond the operating room or boardroom

Inflation hedge

Real estate grows while dollars shrink

Legacy building

Your family inherits wealth, not tax bills

The Advanced Strategy: Rental → Primary Residence

 

This is where smart investors get next-level.

You can:

1️⃣ Exchange into a rental property
2️⃣ Rent it for 2+ years (IRS investment-use requirement)
3️⃣ Later move in as your primary residence
4️⃣ After 2+ years living there, sell and exclude up to:

  • $500K in capital gains (married)

  • $250K (single)

So you not only defer massive taxes — you can ultimately eliminate them.

Busy physicians use this when planning:

✔ Retirement housing
✔ Relocation
✔ Downsizing
✔ Wealth transfers

Compliance Matters

 

To stay fully IRS compliant:

  • Property must show actual rental income

  • Depreciation may be recaptured later

  • The exchange must use a qualified intermediary

  • Timing rules must be followed precisely

This is not a guess-your-way-through-it transaction — and that’s why our clients depend on us.

Why The Solomon Group Is the Right Strategic Partner

 

Physicians trust specialists.

You wouldn’t let a generalist perform heart surgery — and you shouldn’t trust a generalist to structure high-value investment transitions.

We assist physicians and professionals through:

✔ Property valuation & investment sourcing
✔ Coordination with tax attorneys & intermediaries
✔ Long-term wealth planning (exit strategy included)
✔ High-ROI rental selection in premier Ohio markets
✔ Hands-off management through trusted partners

You remain focused on your expertise — we focus on the real estate strategy.

A Doctor’s Real Estate Transformation — Example

 

A surgeon owns a rental with $300,000 equity. Selling outright would trigger ~$80,000+ in tax.

Instead:

➡ Performs 1031 into a modern duplex
➡ Enjoys increased cash flow during peak career years
➡ Moves in later as primary residence
➡ Lives there 2 years and then sells…
➡ Potentially ZERO tax on up to $500,000 in gain

That’s real wealth preservation.
