What happened
- Policy & tax1031 exchange money drives the Mammoth market
Section 1031 like-kind exchanges channelled investment-property equity into Mammoth condos through the late 1990s and 2000s, with rental-history condos qualifying.
The tax-deferred exchange (IRS Sec. 1031) laws helped drive the market in the past 10 years.
