When to Consider a Build-to-Suit 1031 Exchange

There are numerous types of 1031 exchanges that you can use to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of investment real estate. For some taxpayers, it can be difficult to determine which type of exchange best suits their needs. In this article, we are going to talk about when to consider a build-to-suit 1031 exchange of real estate.

Build-to-Suit Exchanges

A build-to-suit exchange has the same ultimate outcome as any other type of exchange – capital gains tax deferral. However, this type of exchange is a bit more complicated than a typical forward exchange. With a build-to-suit exchange, you perform construction improvements on your property as part of the exchange itself. This is a great option for those who can’t find a replacement property that perfectly matches their needs.

Bear in mind that any improvements made to the property as part of the exchange need to be completed within the 180 day time frame that governs all exchanges. It’s important to bear this deadline in mind and do as much prep work as possible before starting your exchange.

How to Take Advantage of the Tax-Saving Benefits of Section 1031

There are a wide range of benefits that come with conducting a 1031 exchange, but many people don’t know how to get the ball rolling. In this article, we are going to talk about how to take advantage of the tax-saving benefits of section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Deferring Taxes on the Sale of Qualifying Real Property

First, let’s talk about the fundamentals of section 1031. A like-kind exchange (also known as a 1031 exchange) is an alternative to an outright sale of property in which you exchange your current property for a replacement property. This allows you to defer your capital gains tax burden on the sale, but you must move all of your sales proceeds into a new replacement property rather than pocketing those funds.

This can result in potentially massive tax savings as you keep your money working for you in a continued investment.

A Qualified Intermediary Can Help

A qualified intermediary is your ticket to a successful 1031 exchange. They act as the neutral third party during the transaction and hold your funds to make sure you never receive any cash boot during the transaction. They can also answer your questions and prepare the appropriate documentation for the transaction.

Take Advantage of the Tax-Saving Benefits of a Like-Kind Exchange

If you’re selling investment real estate, take advantage of the tax-saving benefits section 1031 of the IRC and exchange your property in a 1031 exchange! There are many benefits of conducting a 1031 exchange of real estate – chief among them is capital gains tax deferral.

Seller-Back Installment Notes vs. Cash on the Spot

Many people conducting 1031 exchanges have questions about sell-back financing. It would be beneficial to consult with your CPA to explore the possibility of participating in a 1031 exchange involving seller-back financing.

When a property is sold using the installment method, the seller typically needs to report all recapture income in the year of the sale, up to the total gain realized. This information can be found on the IRS website.

In terms of a 1031 exchange, it is generally advisable to have 100% cash so that the entire amount can be reinvested into the new replacement property. Your CPA can provide more insight into the Value, Equity, and Debt requirements for a 1031 exchange.

There are three basic guidelines to determine if you will defer the recognition of all gains:

1. Ideally, the replacement property should be of equal or higher Value (net of commissions and expenses).

2. All Equity (net proceeds) from the relinquished property should be rolled over into the replacement property.

3. Any relieved liabilities or Debt from the old property should be balanced out by new liabilities or additional cash invested in the replacement property.

If you do not meet these benchmarks, you may only qualify for a partial tax deferral.

When do I Need to Finish Construction on my 1031 Exchange Property?

Build-to-suit exchanges offer an excellent opportunity for taxpayers to improve their replacement properties before acquiring them in a 1031 exchange transaction. But there are serious time constraints on any 1031 exchange that you need to be aware of. In this article, we are going to explain when you can begin construction on your 1031 exchange property.

Time Constraints of a Build-to-Suit 1031 Exchange

A build-to-suit exchange is restricted by the same timelines as any other 1031 exchange. Specifically, you only have 180 days total to complete your entire exchange. Any construction improvements made to the property must be completed within that 180 day time period. It’s important to keep that in mind when you’re planning your exchange. You’re not going to be able to build a massive skyscraper in that timeframe, but you can make smaller improvements that will benefit your property. Make sure you get all of your contractors lined up before you begin the process so you can rest assured that the work will be completed on time.

When is a 1031 Exchange the Right Move?

Like-kind exchanges under section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code are excellent vehicles for tax-deferral, but it can sometimes be difficult to ascertain when a 1031 exchange is the right move for you. In this article, we are going to talk a little bit about how to decide when a 1031 exchange is the right move for your particular situation.

Does Your Property Fit the 1031 Definition?

Before you start thinking about specific timing, you need to figure out if your property fits the 1031 definition. Namely, your property needs to be held for investment or business purposes (not personal use).

Is it the Right Time to Start Your Exchange?

If your property qualifies for 1031 exchange, the next step is to determine whether now is the right time to start your exchange. Time is a huge element in the 1031 exchange process. Once you get your exchange started, you only have 180 days to finish. With that in mind, it’s important to take the necessary steps to prepare for your exchange. Contact your team of advisors, line up a suitable replacement property, and make sure you have all your bases covered.
