The 1031 Exchange Prcoess

The steps to complete a 1031 exchange are the same across all states, and investors pursuing a 1031 exchange need to ensure they follow the strict guidelines of the IRS to defer capital gains. A 1031 exchange can be outlined in a few steps.
1.
QUALIFIED INTERMEDIARY
QI
INDENTIFY A QUALIFIED INTERMEDIARY
Before getting started, it is recommended that investors identify a qualified intermediary (QI) who will manage their funds through the exchange process. Although a QI can be identified until the sale of the relinquished property, it’s better to have this completed ahead of time.
We help guide you through the process.
2.
RELINQUISH PROEPRTY
SELL
SELL THE RELINQUISHED PROPERTY
The property that an investor is selling is known as the “relinquished property.” To kick-start the exchange, this property should be sold. It can be marketed either on or off the market – the IRS does not define any restrictions.
We have listings.
3.
PLACE WITH QI
FUNDS
PLACE FUNDS WITH THE QI
Once the property is sold, the funds from the sale are placed with the QI. This is a critical step in the exchange process. Any funds placed with the investor immediately become taxable.

REPLACEMENT PROPERTY
IDENTIFY
IDENTIFY A REPLACEMENT PROPERTY
From the day the relinquished property closes escrow, an exchanger has 45 days to identify the exchange property – this is known as the 45-Day Rule. Those in a trade must follow one of the three identification rules defined by the IRS.
  • The Three Property Rule states that an exchanger can select any three properties as a
    replacement and purchase one, two, or all three.
  • The 200 Percent Rule allows an exchanger to identify more than three properties so long as the total value of the properties does not exceed more than 200 percent of the relinquished
    property’s value.
  • The 95 Percent Rule states that an exchanger can identify as many properties as they like;
    however, they must purchase 95 percent of the aggregate value of all the properties that have
    been identified.
5.
REPLACEMENT PROPERYY
CLOSE
CLOSE ON THE REPLACEMENT PROPERTY
An investor in a 1031 exchange has 180 days from the day the relinquished property closes to purchase a replacement property – this is known as the 180-Day Rule. If an investor closes on the property within 180 days and meets the criteria for identification, all gains are deferred.

Privacy Policy & Terms of Usage

Perch Financial LLC and Emerson Equity LLC do not provide legal or tax advice. Securities offered through Emerson Equity LLC Member FINRA/SIPC and MSRB registered. Emerson Equity LLC is unaffiliated with any entity herein. 1031 Risk Disclosure:

 

  • There is no guarantee that any strategy will be successful or achieve investment objectives;
  • Potential for property value loss – All real estate investments have the potential to lose value during the life of the investments;
  • Change of tax status – The income stream and depreciation schedule for any investment property may affect the property owner’s income bracket and/or tax status. An unfavorable tax ruling may cancel deferral of capital gains and result in immediate tax liabilities;
  • Potential for foreclosure – All financed real estate investments have potential for foreclosure; ·Illiquidity – Because 1031 exchanges are commonly offered through private placement offerings and are illiquid securities. There is no secondary market for these investments;
  • Reduction or Elimination of Monthly Cash Flow Distributions – Like any investment in real estate, if a property unexpectedly loses tenants or sustains substantial damage, there is potential for suspension of cash flow distributions;
  • Impact of fees/expenses – Costs associated with the transaction may impact investors’ returns and may outweigh the tax benefits


No offer to buy or sell securities is being made. Such offers may only be made to qualified accredited investors via private placement memorandum. Risks detailed in a private placement memorandum should be carefully reviewed, understood, and considered before making such an investment. Prospective strategies and products used in any tax advantaged investment planning should be reviewed independently with your tax and legal advisors. Changes to the tax code and other regulatory revisions could have a negative impact upon strategies developed and recommendations made. Past performance and/or forward-looking statements are never an assurance of future results.

Many of the investments offered will be only available to those investors meeting the definition of an Accredited Investor under SEC Rule 501(A) and offered as Regulation D private placement securities via a Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”). Prospective investors must receive, read, and understand all the risks associated with buying private placement securities. Investments are not guaranteed or FDIC insured and risks may include but are not limited to illiquidity, no guarantee of income or guarantee that all tax advantages or objectives will be met and complete loss of principal investment could occur.

Risk Disclosure: Alternative investment products, including real estate investments, notes & debentures, hedge funds and private equity, involve a high degree of risk, often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be highly illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees which may offset any trading profits, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager. Alternative investment performance can be volatile. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Often, alternative investment fund and account managers have total trading authority over their funds or accounts; the use of a single advisor applying generally similar trading programs could mean lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk. There is often no secondary market for an investor's interest in alternative investments, and none is expected to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in any alternative investment. Alternative investment products often execute a substantial portion of their trades on non-U.S. exchanges. Investing in foreign markets may entail risks that differ from those associated with investments in U.S. markets. Additionally, alternative investments often entail commodity trading, which involves substantial risk of loss.

NO OFFER OR SOLICITATION: The contents of this website: (i) do not constitute an offer of securities or a solicitation of an offer to buy of securities, and (ii) may not be relied upon in making an investment decision related to any investment offering by Perch Financial LLC, Emerson Equity LLC, or any affiliate, or partner thereof.
