Buying 1031 Exchange Replacement Property from a Related Person

There are a lot of rules and regulations that you need to keep straight in order to complete a successful 1031 exchange. One issue that taxpayers often worry about in the course of a 1031 exchange is buying property from a related person. In this article, we are going to talk about some things to keep in mind when you’re buying 1031 exchange replacement property form a related person.

Buying 1031 Exchange Property from a Related Party

When you buy your replacement property you’d probably prefer to buy from the devil you know rather than the devil you don’t know. However, the IRS has created rules that make it more difficult to buy 1031 exchange property from a related person. This is particularly true if you’re buying your replacement property from a related person.

Many farmers want to buy the property that’s adjacent to their home farm but the owner of the adjacent farm may be a family member. It often doesn’t make sense for a farmer to buy new property miles away, so they may have no choice but to purchase property form a related party.
