1031 Exchange · Utah

Sell the property. Keep the tax. Find the next one.

A 1031 exchange lets you defer capital gains when you trade one Utah investment property into another. The rules are easy. The hard part is finding a replacement property worth buying inside 45 days — and that’s exactly what we do.

The real problem

Most exchanges don’t fail on the sale. They fail on the purchase.

Intermediaries hold your funds. CPAs handle the tax. But neither of them finds you a building. In Utah’s thin multifamily market, the good deals trade quietly — and a 45-day identification window doesn’t wait for the MLS to catch up.

Canovo Group is a brokerage built for investors. We run your downleg and upleg on the same clock, and we source replacement properties — on-market, off-market and seller-financed — before your clock starts.

45 / 180 days, managed

Identification and closing windows tracked from day one, with backup properties identified so a fallen deal doesn't kill the exchange.

Off-market sourcing

A private database of 5,300+ Utah investors and twenty years of owner relationships — so your replacement options aren't limited to what's listed.

Investor-grade underwriting

Every candidate is priced from rents, expenses and cap rates — the same data behind The Utah Investor Report — before it reaches your shortlist.

How it works

One team, both sides of the trade.

01
Underwrite and sell your downleg

We price your relinquished property from its actual numbers and run our three-phase marketing system — private investor database first — so your exchange starts with a defensible price and a realistic timeline.

02
Structure the exchange before it closes

Before your sale funds, we coordinate with your qualified intermediary and CPA on the exchange documents, identification strategy and backup options. The 45-day clock never surprises you.

03
Source your replacement property

On-market, off-market and seller-financed candidates across Utah, underwritten before you spend time on them. You identify real options — not maybes — inside the 45-day window.

04
Close inside 180 days

We negotiate the purchase, manage due diligence and keep both sides of the trade on schedule, so the deferral holds and you land in a better asset than the one you sold.

Common questions

Utah 1031 exchange, answered plainly.

A 1031 exchange lets you sell an investment property and roll the proceeds into another like-kind investment property, deferring federal capital gains and Utah state tax on the gain. It applies to rentals, multifamily, land and commercial property — not your primary residence.

Thinking about an exchange? Start before you list.

The best exchanges are planned before the downleg hits the market. A 30-minute call gets you a timeline, a value range and replacement options to watch.
