3 Types of 1031 Exchanges to Consider

There are several different ways in which you can conduct 1031 exchanges of real estate. In this article, we are going to walk through three of the most common types of 1031 exchanges to consider when selling qualifying property.

Forward Exchanges

This is the most common type of 1031 exchange in which a taxpayer sells a relinquished property, and then with the following 180 days acquires a like-kind replacement property, all while deferring capital gains taxes.

Reverse Exchanges

The second most common type of exchange is the reverse exchange. What makes this type of exchange different is all in the name – the outcome is the same but the steps are done in reverse order. Instead of selling your relinquished property first (as you would in a forward exchange), you acquire your replacement property first in a reverse exchange. This is a great way to grab that perfect property before you’re able to sell your relinquished property.

Build-to-Suit Exchanges

Finally, build-to-suit exchanges are 1031 exchanges in which you construct improvements to your replacement property as part of the exchange. This type of exchange is great for people who have a replacement property that needs some work. It’s important to remember that any improvements made must be finished within the 180 day 1031 exchange time frame.

Why Working with a Qualified Intermediary is the Best Way to Ensure A Successful 1031 Exchange

Working with a qualified intermediary is essential to ensuring the successful completion of your like-kind exchange of real property. But why is that? In this article, we are going to explain why working with a qualified intermediary is the best way to ensure a successful 1031 exchange of real estate.

A Qualified Intermediary Insulates You From Receiving Boot

To successfully defer your capital gains tax burden via a 1031 exchange you need to reinvest all of your net proceeds from the sale of your relinquished property into a new replacement property. You cannot receive any part of your sales proceeds at any point during the process. Doing so would trigger taxable boot and devalue the benefits of your exchange. This is where an intermediary comes in handy. They can hold onto your net proceeds in a separate, segregated bank account on your behalf during the exchange process. This insulates you from receiving boot and protects your 1031 exchange.

In the process, you can defer 100% of your capital gains taxes.

Can You 1031 Exchange Multiple Properties if the Value of the Sale is Less than the Value of the Purchase?

There are many rules relating to properties that can be used in a 1031 exchange and many people get confused trying to navigate the 1031 exchange process. In this article, we are going to explain whether you can do a 1031 exchange involving multiple properties if the value of the sale is less than that of the purchase.

Multiple Replacement Properties

It is possible to acquire several replacement properties through a 1031 exchange, provided that they are appropriately designated in writing within the 45-day identification period and received within the 180-day exchange period. This period commences on the day following the closing of the first relinquished property.

However, it is advisable to consult with your real estate agent as well as your CPA or tax attorney as a tight inventory of potential replacement properties may necessitate meticulous planning and strategy to ensure that your tax deferral is maximized and all factors are aligned.

Why It’s Essential to Avoid Boot at All Costs in a 1031 Exchange

There are many essential rules to keep in mind during the 1031 exchange process. One of the most important, and often overlooked, is that it’s important to avoid receiving “boot” during the 1031 exchange process. In this article, we are going to explain why it’s essential to avoid boot at all costs in a 1031 exchange of real estate.

Avoid Boot at All Costs

There are a variety of things that can constitute boot in a 1031 exchange, but the most notable is the cash proceeds from the sale of your relinquished property. You want to avoid constructively receiving these proceeds at all costs. Receiving any cash boot goes against the whole idea of a 1031 exchange. You’re not supposed to receive any funds from the sale of your property, but rather move those funds into a replacement property.

Ideally you will have a qualified intermediary hold these funds for your during the 1031 exchange period and then reinvest them into your replacement property on your behalf – thus insulating you from receiving any boot and jeopardizing your exchange.

How Qualified Intermediaries Facilitate 1031 Exchanges

Working with a qualified intermediary is perhaps the best way to ensure a successful like-kind exchange, but many taxpayers don’t have a firm grasp on the role of the intermediary. In this article, we are going to talk about how qualified intermediaries facilitate 1031 exchanges.

Acting As Your Neutral Third Party

During the course of any 1031 exchange, you need to park your sales proceeds from the relinquished property with a neutral third party who can hold those funds until you are ready to reinvest them into the replacement property. This is absolutely essential because you don’t want to constructively receive any cash proceeds, as doing so would trigger boot. A qualified intermediary acts as this neutral third party administrator – protecting you from receiving any boot during the 1031 exchange process.

Advising You Throughout the Process

A qualified intermediary also acts as your advisor throughout the 1031 exchange process – answering all questions that arise. There are a wide array of rules and regulations that govern how 1031 exchanges function, and your qualified intermediary will make sure you are well aware of all deadlines, rules, and requirements that you need to hit in order to maximize your exchange.
