1031 Exchange Requirements
1031 Exchange Requirement
There are four distinct requirements applicable to all
1031 exchanges :
In order to qualify as a 1031 exchange, 100% of the monies earned through the sale of any rental property must be reinvested in the replacement rental property.
Also, the amount of equity held in any like kind rental property for reinvestment must be greater than or equal to that of the relinquished rental property.
Third, each property owner must use a Qualified Intermediary (QI) to oversee the transaction. A QI is a qualified individual that prepares the paperwork, holds all proceeds from the transaction, and provides any technical advise on the exchange process.
Finally, all 1031 exchanges require the exchange of like kind rental property for other like kind property. A definition of such may be found in IRS 1031 tax code.
