FAQ's
What is a 1031 exchange, and how does it work?
A 1031 exchange, or like-kind exchange, allows investors to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds from the sale of investment property into another similar property. It enables investors to swap one property for another without incurring immediate tax liabilities.
What types of properties qualify for a 1031 exchange?
Generally, any real estate held for investment or business purposes qualifies for a 1031 exchange. This includes rental properties, commercial buildings, vacant land, and certain leasehold interests.
What are the timing and deadlines for completing a 1031 exchange?
The IRS imposes strict deadlines: 45 days to identify potential replacement properties after selling the relinquished property and 180 days to close on the purchase of the replacement property. Missing these deadlines can disqualify the exchange.
Can i use a 1031 exchange to upgrade or downgrade my investment property?
Yes, a 1031 exchange allows investors to trade up or down in property value, as long as the replacement property is of equal or greater value and all proceeds from the sale are reinvested. However, any cash or net equity received from the sale of the relinquished property will be taxable.
