1031 Exchange Tips for Financial Planners

Financial Planner

Many financial planners have clients who may be interested in 1031 exchanges. In this article, we are going to offer up a few 1031 exchange tips for financial planners advising their clients on section 1031.

Keep Your Client’s Money Working for Them

The greatest thing about 1031 exchanges is that they let you defer capital gains taxes and keep your money working for you over time in a continued investment.

Work with a Qualified Intermediary

Working with a qualified intermediary is the best way to ensure the success of a 1031 exchange. A qualified intermediary knows the 1031 exchange process inside and out and can advise you (and your client) on the best course of action.

The More Prep Time, The Better!

If you have a client who is interested in pursuing a 1031 exchange of real estate, encourage them to start the process early. A little prep work goes a long way when it comes to 1031 exchanges. It’s a good idea to have at least an idea of what replacement property you want to exchange into before beginning the process. There is also paperwork that needs to be finalized for the closing table so it’s best to give as much lead time as possible.
