1031 Real Estate Exchange Requirements
1031 Real Estate Exchange Requirement
All 1031 real estate exchanges, including
tenant in common exchanges, must adhere to the following requirements:
The total money reinvested into the like kind income real estate must equal or be greater than the value of the relinquished income real estate. In other words, 100% of the assets from the sale of the first income real estate must be rolled into the second investment.
The amount of equity ( income real estate value minus loan amt. ) of the acquired income real estate must be equal to or greater than that of the income real estate being sold.
Third, each real estate investor 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 real estate exchanges require the exchange of like kind income real estate for other like kind property. A definition of such may be found in internal revenue code.
