1031 Exchange made simple

Engaging in a 1031 exchange empowers you to sell an investment property and redirect the funds into another like-kind property, without paying taxes.

It's essential to note that you must not receive the proceeds directly; instead, they must be securely held in a third-party 1031 escrow account, typically handled by a qualified intermediary.

To qualify for a 1031 exchange and to defer capital gains tax, all properties involved in the exchange must be considered like-kind.

When executed correctly, there's no limit on how frequently you can 1031 exchange and continue to build wealth without paying taxes.

Important Timelines & Rules

45 Day Rule

Once the sale of the property occurs the qualified intermediary will receive the cash from the sale.  You then have 45 calendar days to identify an equal or greater value replacement property or else you pay taxes.

180 Day Rule

You must close on your replacement property within 180 calendar days of the sale of your old property.

The 3 Property Rule

The timeline allows for up to 3 properties that combine to be equal or greater in value from the property sold.

The 200% Rule

Allows for the identification of more than 3 properties, as long as the combined value does not exceed 200% of the property value sold.

Unused Equity

Any remaining equity from the sale of an investment property, which cannot be matched with a replacement property of equal or greater value, can be reinvested in a DST to eliminate tax burdens!

For instance, if a property sells for $1 million and a replacement property is identified for $800K, the remaining $200K can be invested in a DST to comply with the equal or greater value rule of a 1031 exchange. This allows investors to maintain both passive and active roles simultaneously.

Debt Replacement

DSTs are equipped with prearranged non-recourse institutional financing that can substitute an investor's debt commitment during a 1031 exchange.

This feature enables the sale and completion of a 1031 exchange without the necessity of a loan application or accepting a higher interest rate.
