 FAQs

  • A 1031 exchange, also known as a like-kind exchange, is a way for real estate investors to sell a property and reinvest the proceeds into a new property while deferring the payment of capital gains taxes.

  • The properties involved in a 1031 exchange must be "like-kind," meaning they must be used for business or investment purposes. This includes properties such as rental homes, commercial buildings, and raw land.

  • Typically, a 1031 exchange must be completed within 180 days from the date of the sale of the original property.

  • There is no limit on the number of times an investor can complete a 1031 exchange.

Which type of Exchange is Right for Me?

  • 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.
