1031 Exchanges

Getting Started
As soon as you realize that you may qualify for a 1031 exchange, contact a qualified intermediary (QI). Contact a QI before closing on your relinquished property. Doing this prevents you from missing the opportunity to enter an exchange. The QI will tell you if you qualify for an exchange and which type of exchange works best. There are several 1031 exchange options available to taxpayers, depending on their unique transactions. Here, we discuss the definition, rules, and situations that work best for each type of exchange.
Exchanges (whether standard or reverse/improvement) need advanced preparation. This preparation ensures adherence to regulatory requirements. This also gives all involved parties ample time to updates their documentation.
