Reverse 1031 Exchange Services

Yes you can, so long as you rent the property for more than 14 days per year for the first two years, and use it for personal use fewer than 14 days per year and no more than 10% of nights rented. Got questions? Call us at 916-252-6900 and our 1031 vacation home exchange experts will walk you through the details.

At the time of the 1031 exchange, the primary intent of the investor to use the replacement property for investment purposes is the determining factor as to whether it is for personal use or as an investment. Also, only dwelling units are eligible for these exchanges. For more details, contact us at 916-252-6900 for a free consultation on setting the right strategy for your 1031 vacation home exchange.

In a traditional 1031 exchange, you sell a property (known as the relinquished property) and then buy a new property of like kind (known as the replacement property for business use or investment purposes). In a reverse 1031 exchange, this order is reversed, enabling you to acquire new property before you have sold your original property.

You have 45 days to identify a new replacement property and 180 days to complete the exchange, or you might be liable for capital gains tax.

Any property held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment can be exchange for like-kind property. "Like-kind" refers to the nature of the investment. Any type of real property can be exchanged for another type of real property. For example: A single family rental can be exchanged for a duplex. Raw land can be exchanged for a shopping center or an office space for apartments. Any combination will work. This gives the investor flexibility to change investment strategies to fulfill their portfolio needs.

A personal residence, developed lots, home flipping, partnership interests or property held for resale immediately after acquisition. Second homes may or may not qualify depending upon the use and how it's reported for income tax purposes.

A reverse exchange is when you close on the purchase of the replacement property before you close on the sale of the relinquished property.

Also referred to as a construction exchange or build-to-suit exchange, improvement exchanges offer real estate investors nice benefits, which often result in better investment opportunities than properties readily available on the market. The ability to remodel, add capital improvements, or build from the ground up, while using tax-deferred dollars, allows an investor to reinvest in a replacement property that meets their exact investment criteria.

The Federation of Exchange Accommodators (FEA) is the only national trade association organized to represent professionals who conduct like-kind exchanges under Internal Revenue Code §1031. Members include Qualified Intermediaries (QIs), their primary tax and legal counsel, and affiliated industries (TIC sponsors, banks, real estate brokers, title companies, settlement/escrow agents, etc.). 1031 Pros is a proud member of the FEA.

Yes, you can exchange into a Tenant In Common (TIC) or Triple Net Lease real estate investments. The biggest rule of thumb is that your name is on the title as an owner with a percentage of ownership. These types of real estate investments offer a great passive income for those who are done with being a landlord and are ready to sit back and collect a monthly check. We do not offer these types of investments at 1031 Pros, but we have some great partners who do. Call us today to learn more.
