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.
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.
Identification and closing windows tracked from day one, with backup properties identified so a fallen deal doesn't kill the exchange.
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.
Every candidate is priced from rents, expenses and cap rates — the same data behind The Utah Investor Report — before it reaches your shortlist.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“I absolutely recommend David Robinson and would use the Canovo Group again, given the chance.”

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.
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.
