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.

Video – Farmland 1031 Exchanges Can Be Confusing to Navigate

Sometimes doing 1031 exchanges can be difficult because the rules can seem confusing. You have to hold your property for investment or business purposes, and there are related party rules when you’re selling to a related person.

This gets really interesting when doing a 1031 exchange involving farmland that you’ve inherited from a deceased relative, especially if you plan on selling your interest in that property to another relative. In this situation, you have holding period issues and potential related party issues.

If you want to discuss doing 1031 exchanges of farmland that you’ve inherited from a deceased relative, it’s essential to work with a qualified intermediary.

Video – Rethinking 1031 Exchanges of Farmland

The problem with farmland is that the cash-on-cash returns are not that lucrative. Institutional grade investment commercial real estate can provide an alternative because it offers a higher rate of yield, and a more steady and reliable source of income. Furthermore, if you purchase it through a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) it’s a divisible asset that can be divided up amongst your heirs upon your passing with a stepped up basis.
