The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has a lot of real estate investors confused and frustrated – and rightly so. This is certainly the case among those considering 1031 exchanges right now. In this article, we are going to discuss whether or not you should consider starting a 1031 exchange during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Finding the Right Time

Timing is important in any real estate deal. Many taxpayers are hesitant to begin a 1031 exchange right now due to the uncertainty in the air at the moment. But this doesn’t mean you should completely avoid beginning your exchange. It’s possible that you may be able to find some great deals on replacement property right now because others are choosing to delay their exchanges.

Talk to a Qualified Intermediary

Ultimately, the best thing you can do is talk with a qualified intermediary about your specific situation to see if now is the best time to begin your 1031 exchange. An intermediary will be able to examine your unique situation and offer guidance on how to proceed.
