Can You 1031 Exchange Multiple Properties if the Value of the Sale is Less than the Value of the Purchase?

There are many rules relating to properties that can be used in a 1031 exchange and many people get confused trying to navigate the 1031 exchange process. In this article, we are going to explain whether you can do a 1031 exchange involving multiple properties if the value of the sale is less than that of the purchase.

Multiple Replacement Properties

It is possible to acquire several replacement properties through a 1031 exchange, provided that they are appropriately designated in writing within the 45-day identification period and received within the 180-day exchange period. This period commences on the day following the closing of the first relinquished property.

However, it is advisable to consult with your real estate agent as well as your CPA or tax attorney as a tight inventory of potential replacement properties may necessitate meticulous planning and strategy to ensure that your tax deferral is maximized and all factors are aligned.

Why It’s Essential to Avoid Boot at All Costs in a 1031 Exchange

There are many essential rules to keep in mind during the 1031 exchange process. One of the most important, and often overlooked, is that it’s important to avoid receiving “boot” during the 1031 exchange process. In this article, we are going to explain why it’s essential to avoid boot at all costs in a 1031 exchange of real estate.

Avoid Boot at All Costs

There are a variety of things that can constitute boot in a 1031 exchange, but the most notable is the cash proceeds from the sale of your relinquished property. You want to avoid constructively receiving these proceeds at all costs. Receiving any cash boot goes against the whole idea of a 1031 exchange. You’re not supposed to receive any funds from the sale of your property, but rather move those funds into a replacement property.

Ideally you will have a qualified intermediary hold these funds for your during the 1031 exchange period and then reinvest them into your replacement property on your behalf – thus insulating you from receiving any boot and jeopardizing your exchange.

How Qualified Intermediaries Facilitate 1031 Exchanges

Working with a qualified intermediary is perhaps the best way to ensure a successful like-kind exchange, but many taxpayers don’t have a firm grasp on the role of the intermediary. In this article, we are going to talk about how qualified intermediaries facilitate 1031 exchanges.

Acting As Your Neutral Third Party

During the course of any 1031 exchange, you need to park your sales proceeds from the relinquished property with a neutral third party who can hold those funds until you are ready to reinvest them into the replacement property. This is absolutely essential because you don’t want to constructively receive any cash proceeds, as doing so would trigger boot. A qualified intermediary acts as this neutral third party administrator – protecting you from receiving any boot during the 1031 exchange process.

Advising You Throughout the Process

A qualified intermediary also acts as your advisor throughout the 1031 exchange process – answering all questions that arise. There are a wide array of rules and regulations that govern how 1031 exchanges function, and your qualified intermediary will make sure you are well aware of all deadlines, rules, and requirements that you need to hit in order to maximize your exchange.

Are Step-Parents Considered Related Parties for 1031 Exchange Purposes?

There are many rules and regulations that govern 1031 exchanges. One such rule puts heavy restrictions on 1031 exchanges between related parties. In this article, we are going to discuss whether step-parents are considered related parties for 1031 exchange purposes.

Step-Parents & 1031 Exchanges

According to Rev. Rul. 71-50 and DeBoer v. Commissioner, step-parents and step-children are not considered family members for the purposes of §267(c)(2). The case of Tilles v. Commissioner also establishes that nieces, nephews, and in-laws are not considered family members either. Therefore, based on these authorities, step-parents should not be categorized as related parties for 1031 purposes.
