Video – When Were the 1031 Exchange Timing Rules Established?

The IRS, Treasury, and Congress did not like the Starker decision of 1979 that allowed for delayed exchanges. They thought that there weren’t enough guardrails and limitations. As a result, they decided to implement restrictions limiting the number of properties that you can acquire by requiring that you identify your replacement properties within 45 days after the sale of your relinquished property, and that you acquire those relinquished properties within 180 days.

Video – Leverage the Tax Code to Maximize Your Returns & Your Appreciation

Under the tax code, you’re incentivized to move the proceeds from your under-producing real estate into more advantageous like-kind real estate throughout the United States in a 1031 exchange. Let’s say that you own farmland that’s not producing a very good cash-on-cash return, yet your property taxes increase every year. Or what if you own apartment buildings that at one time were great money makers but now have lots of deferred maintenance and cap ex expenses. Or perhaps you’re in a location where property values are not increasing and you can move to a more advantageous geographic location.

Let’s use section 1031 of the tax code to maximize your returns and your appreciation!

Video – 1031 Exchanging Into Only Some of Your Identified Replacement Property

When you’re doing a 1031 exchange you have to identify your replacement property within 45 days and it has to be clearly and unambiguously defined. The identification must be signed by you in writing and sent in. But what happens if you don’t buy the entirety of what you identified? What if you identified four acres and you only ended up purchasing three of those four acres? Is that going to be satisfactory to the IRS for 1031 exchange purposes?

In an interesting treasury regulation for the treatment of 1031 exchanges, that same fact pattern came up. The taxpayer only ended up purchasing 75% of what they had originally identified. The IRS reasoned that the nature of what the taxpayer received was substantial the same and they allowed the 1031 exchange to proceed.

Consider the 1031 Exchange

The next time you’re selling a piece of investment real estate, consider a 1031 exchange that allows you to defer your capital gains tax burden. The catch is you have to reinvest your sales proceeds into a bigger replacement property. A 1031 exchange needs to be a continuation of your investment so pocketing any of the net proceeds is a big no-no. A qualified intermediary can help you through all these details and more. Contact the team at CPEC1031, LLC today to get started with your exchange. We have decades of experience in the 1031 exchange industry and have the knowledge to help you through your next like-kind exchange.

Video – When to Do a 1031 Exchange of Real Estate

There are a number of factors that can influence your decision to conduct a 1031 exchange of real estate.

Some people are upset with government regulations and interference with how they operate their property. Some have problems with interest rates or insurance costs. Others have lots of deferred maintenance or just bad tenants that make the property difficult to own.

There are also opportunities in other geographic areas where you may want to invest for better appreciation and growth.

Video – When Are 1031 Exchange Funds Available to the Taxpayer?

Let’s say you’re on the fence and not sure if you want to do a 1031 exchange. One of the most pressing questions you have is “how long will my money be tied up in this 1031 exchange?”

The first thing that you need to do is talk with a qualified intermediary before closing. You escrow your proceeds with the intermediary for at least the first 45 days, during which you contemplate whether or not you want to designate replacement properties. If you fail to designate or identify replacement properties by midnight of the 45th day, you’re exchange is over and the intermediary can return your unused funds to you on the next business day.

However, if you identify property your funds will then be tied up until you either acquire the designated property or your exchange period ends (which is either the 180th day or the due date for the filing of your federal income tax return).

Remember, your funds are always immediately available for you to acquire replacement property. But they may not be immediately available to be returned to you during the exchange period.
