A 1031 exchange is a tax-deferral strategy that allows real estate investors to swap properties and defer capital gains if certain rules are followed. It can be a powerful tool for building a real estate portfolio in Coronado and across California.
The timeline depends on your specific plan, but most exchanges require identification within 45 days and acquisition within 180 days. Planning with a local attorney helps keep you on track.
A qualified intermediary is a neutral third party who holds sale proceeds and coordinates the exchange to ensure tax compliance. It helps prevent receipt of funds by the taxpayer and preserves deferral benefits.
You can identify up to three properties if you are using the 200% method, and more under the 95% rule in certain cases. Specific rules apply, so consult our team for details.
Missing an identification deadline can jeopardize the tax-deferral benefits. We help you monitor timelines and adjust plans to minimize risk.
1031 exchanges suit many investors, but they are not universal. Factors include investment goals, timing, and the types of properties involved.
