Video – Defining Like-Kind Real Property in a 1031 Exchange

“Like-kind” is one of the essential litmus tests in a 1031 exchange. Many people think that if they sell a single family rental, they need to buy another single family rental in order to do a 1031 exchange. That’s not true. So long as the replacement property is like-kind to the relinquished property, you can buy all sorts of property types (DSTs, TIC property, development rights, air rights, etc.) The definition of “like-kind” is very broad in the realm of 1031 exchanges of real estate.
