1031 Exchanges are a very secret art in real estate investing, but is among the most valuable reasons to invest in real estate.

It is a legal way to defer capital gains taxes on your real estate investment, and instead roll it over into a new property. There are time limits, but otherwise, it is an incredible way to retain wealth and quickly convert your real estate gains into larger and better properties.

There are also a lot of misconceptions on 1031 exchanges. For one, that you have to transer into "like property", or into the same number or properties, or that you cannot refinance that money out later on. These are all myths, as any accommodator can explain to you.
