Common questions
1031 Exchange explained
-
A 1031 Exchange (named after Section 1031 of the IRS Tax Code) allows a real estate investor to sell one property and reinvest the proceeds into one or more like-kind replacement properties, deferring federal capital gains taxes and potentially state taxes as well.
-
Investors who own real estate held for investment or productive use in a trade or business may qualify. Primary residences typically do not qualify. Investors must work with a qualified intermediary and meet strict IRS deadlines to execute a valid exchange.
-
Investors have 45 days from the sale of the relinquished property to identify potential replacement properties, and 180 days total to close on one or more of those identified properties. Strict adherence to these deadlines is critical to a valid exchange.
-
Most types of real property held for investment qualify as like-kind, including apartment buildings, commercial properties, land, and fractional interests in real estate. The replacement property does not need to be identical — most U.S. real estate qualifies.
-

-
Common mistakes include missing the 45- or 180-day deadlines, failing to reinvest all proceeds, receiving exchange proceeds directly (rather than through a qualified intermediary), and not identifying enough replacement properties. Working with experienced advisors is essential.
