When a property is held in a partnership of LLC, it can get a little contentious between the partners when it comes time to sell. Some of the partners may want to sell the property outright, while others may prefer to do a 1031 exchange to avoid the associated capital gains taxes. Converting the ownership structure into tenancy-in-common is a great way to deal with this type of situation. In this article, we are going to discuss a few things to keep in mind when dealing with Tenancy-in-Common Property.
Prepare Accordingly
The first thing to remember with tenancy-in-common exchanges is to give yourself plenty of lead time. This is a good practice in any 1031 exchange, but especially when TIC property is involved. It’s important to make the switch to tenancy-in-common property as early as possible in the process. If you wait until the day before your exchange to convert, the IRS may not recognize your exchange.
Don’t Forget Your Holding Requirement
Your 1031 property needs to be held for investment purposes or for use in your trade or business. Be sure to hold onto the property for a sufficient time period before beginning your exchange.
