Can you do a 1031 exchange and take back a note to finance the buyer’s purchase? That’s our topic for today’s article.
Workarounds
Receiving a note or contract for deed may trigger boot. Here are a few potential workarounds:
You can use a note and have the seller bring the loan money to the closing so the loan is not funded with the net proceeds from the sale. This way all of the funds can go directly into the 1031 exchange account.
You can run the note of contract for deed in favor of the qualified intermediary. This insulates the person doing the exchange from receiving any boot. Then, prior to closing on the replacement property, you can buy the note from the intermediary so there is cash in the 1031 exchange account.
If the replacement property seller is willing to accept the note as partial payment, it might be possible to allonge the note together with additional cash consideration.
