How to Know if You’re in the 1031 Exchange Strike Zone

Before you conduct a 1031 exchange, you need to make sure that your property falls within the IRS strike zone for qualified property. In this article, we are going to talk about the 1031 exchange strike zone and whether your property falls within it.

Property Within the Strike Zone

The 1031 exchange strike zone is a set of criteria that govern what exactly qualifies for 1031 exchange treatment. Here are a few types of property that fall within the strike zone:

  • Like-kind real estate that is held primarily for investment or business purposes.

Property Outside the Strike Zone

Here are some examples of property that exist outside the 1031 exchange strike zone:

  • Real property used primarily for personal purposes – such as your primary residence or lake cabin. These are for personal use, not investment or business purposes.

  • Personal property such as artwork, aircraft, and more are no longer considered eligible for 1031 exchange treatment.

  • Property held primarily for resale – including flipped houses.
