In 1961, the Breckenridge Ski Area opened, and people began to recognize the town as a winter paradise. One of the little known secrets is that it's a summer paradise as well.
Summit County, where the town of Breckenridge resides, is full of outdoor opportunities, from hiking and biking the many trails in the area, to exploring old mining settlements and ghost towns, to all kinds of snow and winter sports. In spring, it's possible to experience the winter playground at 11,000 feet, and then drive 30 minutes to hiking and other warmer weather pursuits in the lower elevations.
Particularly in Breckenridge, art galleries abound and museums and mine tours explain the area's rich history.Settled in 1859, Breckenridge was a gold-mining town and carries the dubious honor of hosting the oldest continuously operating saloon west of the Mississippi River. Everything you need on a daily basis is located right in town, and Denver, with all the amenities of a large city, is only an hour and a half away, at least when the roads are clear!
Located 80 miles west of Denver, and 10 miles south of Interstate 70, Breckenridge is in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.

Tax Considerations >New 1031 Exchange Rules
One of the most popular "tax deferring" strategies for real estate owners who are selling one property and acquiring another is the use of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. It is an effective way to defer paying income tax on capital gain generated by the sale of a property when you intend to reinvest the proceeds in a similar, "like-kind" property. Almost any kind of real property is considered "like-kind" with any other real property.
A recently enacted law closes what was considered a loophole in the Section 1031 rules. In some cases, owners of investment real estate have used the 1031 Exchange to swap their investment property for real estate that could be readily converted to an owner-occupied residential property. After the exchange, they made the property into their principal residence, lived in it for a couple of years, then sold it. Now the American Job Creation Act of 2004 has ruled that properties converted from a 1031 exchange property into a residence must be held and used as a principal residence for at least five years to qualify for the tax exemption. Otherwise, the basic tax-deferring benefits of 1031 exchanges remain the same.
