When conducting a 1031 exchange, there are several professionals you want to include in your 1031 exchange “team.” In this article, we are going to explain why a qualified intermediary is the most important person to have on your 1031 exchange team.
A Qualified Intermediary Can Walk You Through the Process
A qualified intermediary is a professional who specializes in all things related to 1031 exchanges. They can walk you through the entire 1031 exchange process, offering you advice and insight every step of the way.
A Qualified Intermediary Can Hold Your Net Proceeds
During a typical 1031 exchange, you need to move all of your sales proceeds into your replacement property in order to defer 100% of your capital gains taxes. If you receive any of these sales proceeds during the 1031 exchange process, you will be liable for capital gains taxes on those proceeds. A qualified intermediary can hold these proceeds for you so you can avoid this taxable “boot.”
