Key steps include selecting a Qualified Intermediary, meeting identification and replacement property timelines, and filing the appropriate IRS forms.

A 1031 exchange allows you to defer capital gains by reinvesting the sale proceeds into a like-kind property within set timelines. It applies to investment or business properties, not primary residences. The process requires careful coordination and adherence to IRS rules. The goal is to preserve capital for future investments while maintaining compliance.
Eligibility focuses on investment or business property used in a trade or business. The properties must be like-kind, and both the relinquished and replacement properties must meet the exchange criteria. Your eligibility depends on meeting timelines and identification requirements. We help determine if your situation qualifies and how to proceed.
Costs include attorney and intermediary fees, as well as potential closing costs. While taxes may be deferred, transactional expenses must be planned for. We provide upfront pricing and help you compare options to fit your budget and goals.
Exchanges typically take several weeks to a few months, depending on property identification and closing timelines. The process is time-sensitive, with key deadlines for identification and property acquisition. Planning helps you stay on track.
A Qualified Intermediary is a neutral party who holds sale proceeds to preserve the tax-deferral status of the exchange. Choosing a reputable intermediary is essential to maintain compliance and avoid prohibited receipt of funds. We can advise on selecting a reliable intermediary.
Yes, you can identify multiple potential replacement properties, but you must meet the identification rules and close on one or more within the allowed period. Provisions specify the number and value you can designate. We help plan an identification strategy that fits your goals.
Missing a deadline can cause the exchange to fail and tax liability to arise. Early planning and ongoing oversight reduce this risk. We monitor timelines and coordinate with your intermediary to keep the process on track.
Bring deeds, recent sale documents, and your investment goals to the consultation. We review assets and discuss options for a potential 1031 exchange, outlining steps and timelines.
