A 1031 exchange is a tax-deferral strategy that lets you swap investment properties while deferring capital gains and depreciation recapture, provided requirements are met.
Key elements include identifying like-kind properties, using a Qualified Intermediary, observing the 45-day identification window, and completing the exchange within 180 days.

Properties that are of the same nature or character and intended for productive use in investment or business.

A 1031 exchange is a tax-deferral strategy that lets you swap investment properties while deferring capital gains and depreciation, provided you follow IRS rules. The process requires careful timing and proper documentation, often with the help of a Qualified Intermediary to manage funds and titles during the swap.
Yes. You can identify and swap multiple properties, but the identification rules and timelines must be followed precisely. A well-planned exchange can support portfolio growth while preserving capital for reinvestment.
Yes. Identification must occur within 45 days of the sale, and the replacement property must be acquired within 180 days. Missing these deadlines can disqualify the exchange and trigger tax consequences.
A Qualified Intermediary facilitates the exchange by holding funds and documents so you do not take constructive receipt of proceeds, helping preserve the tax-deferment status.
Receiving cash or non-like-kind property (boot) can trigger tax liability. Proper planning helps minimize boot and keep the exchange compliant.
Yes. You can identify replacement property before selling, but the timeline and rules must be carefully followed to maintain eligibility.
Common risks include missed deadlines, improper identification, receipt of proceeds, and inadequate documentation. A thorough plan reduces these risks.
