## 1031 Exchange Trickle-Down Effect
### How Elimination/Limitation Could Affect Everyone
Like the trusted companies John Deere, Colgate, and Walt Disney Corporation that have been around for 100+ years, the [Section 1031 tax deferral](https://info.simoncre.com/understanding-section-1031-exchanges) has also withstood the test of time due to the economic stability it provides.
However, now the century-old 1031 exchange is in danger of becoming limited or even eliminated. Many don’t realize the trickle-down effect it has on not just people in the commercial real estate industry, but the U.S. economy as a whole.
Here are some sample stories to illustrate how it could negatively impact individuals across different occupations.

### Landlords
Perhaps the first group that comes to mind for policymakers working to decide the fate of the 1031 exchange are the landlords (investors) of commercial property. However, there is not one single profile to fit all those who need the tax deferral. Here is one middle-class couple's struggle with retirement plans as a result of the 1031 exchange repeal.
