1031 Exchanging from an Apartment Building to a Retail Building

1031 Apartment Complex

One of the most common questions we get about 1031 exchanges is on the topic of exchanging between different segments of the real estate market. For example, can you do a 1031 exchange from an apartment building to retail building? 

 Like-Kind Property

Almost all US real property is considered “Like-Kind” for 1031 exchange purposes.

FROM THE IRS:

Properties are of like-kind if they’re of the same nature or character, even if they differ in grade or quality. Improved real property is generally of like-kind to unimproved real property. For example, an apartment building would generally be of like-kind to unimproved land. However, real property in the United States is not of like-kind to real property outside the U.S.
