Reverse 1031 Exchanges of Agricultural Property

Reverse Exchange Agricultural Property

Exchanging farmland and agricultural property in a 1031 transaction allows you to sell your property in the most tax-advantageous way possible. In this article, we are going to discuss some tips for doing a reverse exchange of agricultural property.

Benefits of a Reverse Exchange

So why do a reverse 1031 exchange of agricultural property rather than a forward exchange? Well, both are perfectly legitimate ways of deferring taxes when selling your property, but a reverse exchange may be better suited to your particular situation. In a reverse exchange of farmland, the taxpayer purchases their new replacement property first and then subsequently sells their relinquished property within the 180 day exchange period. This is the reverse order of operations compared to a forward exchange. The benefit of doing a reverse exchange is that you can lock up your replacement property as soon as possible. This can be especially helpful when the market is hot and you’re competing with other buyers trying to find the perfect property for your situation. If you find a piece of farmland that perfectly suits your needs and you’re afraid it’s going to be snatched up before you can sell your relinquished property, then a reverse exchange is the name of the game.
