Consider These Questions Before Starting a 1031 Exchange

There are many things to consider in a 1031 exchange, but before you begin the process, you need to ask yourself a few basic questions. In this article, we are going to walk through a few questions to consider before starting your 1031 exchange of real estate.

Does Your Property Qualify for 1031 Exchange?

The first question you need to ask yourself is: “does your property qualify for 1031 exchange?” This question is important because some property is not eligible for 1031 exchange treatment. Personal property is excluded outright. Only real property is eligible for 1031 exchange. But not all real property qualifies either. Only real property held for investment or business use is eligible. That means if you are holding your real property for personal use, you won’t be able to use it in a 1031 exchange.

What Replacement Property Do You Intend to Exchange Into?

It’s also important to think about what type of replacement property you want to exchange into. You have only 180 days to complete the exchange once you begin, so it’s important to get a jump on the process and start thinking about your replacement property beforehand so you have plenty of time.
