Which type of exchange is right for me?
An investor should weigh all of their options before proceeding with an exchange. The investor may choose to proceed with a forward, construction, or reverse exchange. Much less commonly an investor may proceed with a reverse-construction exchange.
-
A forward exchange is chosen by most investors, as it is the simplest and most common type of exchange.
A forward exchange simply involves selling one or more properties, referred to as “relinquished property”, and purchasing one or more properties, known as “replacement property”.
-
A reverse exchange is chosen by investors that want to buy a property before they sell the relinquished property.
Generally, a short-term bank note or cash is used to finance the purchase, and the deed to the property is held by the QI, to be returned when the relinquished property is sold.
-
A construction exchange is chosen by the investor that wishes to build or improve a replacement property.
The hardest part about completing a construction exchange is that the investor must use all necessary funds from the exchange before 180 days are up. It is important that the investor keep track.
-
As it sounds, a reverse-construction exchange is a combination of both a reverse & construction Exchange.
An investor will purchase the replacement property first (using a short-term note or cash). The deed will be held by the QI, and the property will be improved. The relinquished property will be sold thereafter.
