3 Signs of a Great Qualified Intermediary

If you’re about to engage in a 1031 exchange, you want to make sure you work with a skilled and experienced qualified intermediary who can help you through the ins and outs of the 1031 process. In this article, we outline a few signs of a great qualified intermediary.

Communication

During the 1031 exchange process, you’re going to need to be in regular communication with your qualified intermediary – sending them documents, information, and asking/answering questions. Thus, a great qualified intermediary is an effective and timely communicator.

Transparency

As with any transaction involving real estate, transparency is also key in a 1031 exchange. A great qualified intermediary will be transparent about the 1031 exchange process itself, as well as the cost of their services.

Experience

Finally, it’s important to evaluate an intermediary’s experience. In general, the more experience a qualified intermediary has, the better. Less experienced intermediaries may not fully understand some of the idiosyncrasies of the 1031 exchange process.

1031 Exchange Tips to Ensure 100% Tax Deferral

Attaining full tax deferral is the ultimate goal of a 1031 exchange. In this article, we are going to offer some tips to ensure your 1031 exchange is 100% tax deferred.

Keep an Eye on Your Debt, Equity, and Value

The first thing you need to do is keep an eye on the debt, equity, and value of your transaction. The important thing to remember is you need to go up in these three areas when you exchange into your replacement property. In other words, your replacement property must be equal to or greater than your relinquished property in debt, equity, and value in order to defer 100% of your capital gains taxes.

Don’t Miss Your Deadlines

It’s also essential not to miss your 1031 exchanges deadlines. The 1031 exchange process is governed by strict timelines. Once you start your exchange you only have 180 days to finish your exchange. In addition to that, you have 45 days identification period that runs concurrently with the start of your 180 day exchange period. During this period you have to identify in writing all of your replacement properties for the exchange. If you miss any of these deadlines it puts your entire exchange in jeopardy.

Qualified Use in a 1031 Exchange – The General Concept

Qualified use is one of the core concepts that define the rules of a 1031 exchange, but many people are confused by the details. In this article, we are going to outline the general concept of qualified use as it’s applied in a 1031 exchange of real estate.

What is Qualified Use?

In a like-kind exchange, all real property involved in the transaction must be held for investment or trade or business purposes. Furthermore, your relinquished property must be exchanged solely for other like-kind business or investment real property. This is a foundational rule of 1031 exchanges. The first question you should ask yourself when considering a like-kind exchange is: “does my property meet the qualified use benchmark?”

The IRS may look at all objective evidence surrounding the sale and acquisition to determine whether a person's use of the properties as part of the 1031 exchange is consistent with an “investment or trade or business intent.”

Real property located in the United States and real property located outside of the United States are not considered like-kind property.

Can You 1031 Exchange a Parcel of Unimproved Land for an Existing Building?

Many taxpayers have questions about what types of property can be used in a 1031 exchange. In this article, we are going to discuss whether you can 1031 exchange a parcel of unimproved land for an existing building.

Like-Kind “Real Property” is Broadly Defined

Most real estate in the United States is considered like-kind to any other real estate in the United States; and differences in the grade or quality do not change the character of the classification as real estate. There can be some complications with shorter term leasehold estates and easements, oil and gas royalties, water or mineral rights that are based upon volume or quantity so please be sure to check with your own CPA or tax attorney before taking any action.

For example, unimproved real property is considered like-kind to improved real property, because the lack of improvements is a distinction of grade or quality and NOT the character of the property – both are “real” property.

Remember that both the relinquished and replacement properties must be held for a qualified purpose of investment or business purposes.
