The Qualities of a Perfect 1031 Exchange Property

When it comes to 1031 exchanges of real estate, the qualities of your property matter a great deal. In this article, we are going to talk about the qualities of a perfect 1031 Exchange property.

Property Quality Matters

The fact of the matter is that there is no perfect 1031 exchange property. Every taxpayer’s situation is different and there are many types of properties that work well in a 1031 exchange. However, just because the perfect property doesn’t exist doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t strive for perfection in your 1031 exchange.

It is essential to examine the qualities of your property when considering a 1031 exchange because not all property qualifies for like-kind exchange treatment. For example, all personal property (such as your primary residence) is barred from 1031 exchange. You need to make sure that the property you wish to exchange is, first and foremost, real estate held for a qualifying purpose. That qualifying purpose is typically defined as for use in your trade or business, or for investment. If your property has these qualities, there’s a good chance that it will qualify for a 1031 exchange.

1031 Exchange Location Considerations

There are many questions surrounding the rules and regulations that govern 1031 exchanges of investment real estate. Some of the most common questions we get are about location. In this article, we are going to talk about some location considerations when it comes to 1031 exchanges of real estate.

Property Within the United States

A 1031 exchange can only be done between property located in the United States. That means both your relinquished property and your replacement property need to be US property. Foreign property does not qualify for 1031 exchange treatment. Keep in mind that your property also needs to be held for a qualified purposes (i.e. investment or business use) and not personal property.

Exchanges Between States

Another common question we get is whether or not you can exchange property between different states. In short, yes. You can exchange a relinquished property in one state for a replacement property in another state. You could sell an duplex in Minnesota and exchange into a retail space in Florida. Exchanging between different states is a very common practice. It can be especially beneficial when taxpayers wish to move their investment into a more tax-advantaged state. Whatever the reasoning, it is perfectly acceptable to 1031 exchange property from one state to another.

Should I Wait Until Next Year to do my 1031 Exchange?

Timing is essential in any 1031 exchange. Some people wonder when they should conduct their exchange. In this article, we are going to discuss whether or not you should wait until next year to conduct a 1031 exchange.

Timing Considerations

There are many timing-related considerations to keep in mind when conducting a 1031 exchange. First, it’s important to remember your 1031 exchange time limits. You only have 180 days from the start of your exchange to the finish line. The first 45 days of that time period is your identification period. You can start your 1031 exchange whenever you’d like, but bear in mind that these time deadlines are hard and fast.

Tax Reporting Considerations

There are some tax reporting considerations to weigh if you’re debating whether to do your exchange this year or to wait until the following year. When your exchange finishes will have an impact on when and how your report the exchange to the IRS. It’s important to work closely with your CPA or tax advisor on this matter to ensure everything goes smoothly.

3 DST Considerations for Financial Planners

DSTs can be complicated. In this article, we are going to talk about three things financial planners should consider when approaching DSTs.

Leverage

One important thing to consider is whether or not there is leverage on the replacement investments and is that debt allocable to the co-purchasers in the DST? Some DSTs are 50% levered – the underlying assets already have debt on them up to 50%. So when you put a dollar into that DST and you’ve allocated the 50% leverage, your real buying power is 2 dollars for every dollar that you put in. That’s going to be important when you’re determining your ceiling under the 200% rule because the value of what you’re buying isn’t just the equity that you’re putting in, but also the debt that’s allocable to you. Be aware that if you’re buying a leveraged DST, that DST may take up more bandwidth under the 200% rule than you had anticipated.

Tax Documents

The next thing to think about is what kind of tax document the DST sponsor is going to send you for completing your taxes. You may receive an alternative 1099 while you’re in the DST stage. If that DST then later converts under a 721 contribution to an UPREIT, you may eventually receive a K-1. So talk to the DST sponsor and understand what tax documents you’ll be receiving.

Identification

Another thing we need to discuss is identification. You still need to identify the underlying real estate that’s comprised of this DST. You want to ask the DST sponsor if they can provide you with the address, legal description, county tax assessor’s numbers, etc. You want to be able to clearly and unambiguously describe that real estate and it would be wonderful if the sponsor could simply provide you an exhibit that gives the full description of the underlying assets. You can append that to you identification form to fully identify what you’re getting as part of the DST.

How to Treat Unsecured Debts in a 1031 Exchange

Many people have questions about the tax treatment of unsecured debts in a 1031 exchange, especially if the (requisite) satisfaction of which appear to not be tied contractually to the sale of the relinquished property.

Boot gain may be realized in an exchange paying debts not secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on the relinquished property.

It may be beneficial to discuss ways to create a contractual nexus between the sale closing and the payment of the debts. This would involve including a material and substantial requirement in the purchase agreement with the buyer; or restating the notes with your lenders to change the terms and add a requirement of satisfaction upon sale of the subject real estate.
