What is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 Exchange is a tax deferral tool that allows the seller of qualifying real property to defer taxes on their transaction including Capital Gains, Depreciation Recapture, and Net Investment Income Tax so long as the proceeds from the sale are used to acquire other qualifying, real property. Multiple requirements must be adhered to for a valid 1031 Exchange.

What is the role of a Qualified Intermediary?
A Qualified Intermediary ensures compliance with IRC 1031 for a valid 1031 Exchange. This includes the following:

• Acquires relinquished property from the Exchanger and transfers it to the Buyer
• Ensures Exchanger is not in actual or constructive receipt of any of the funds from the sale of the relinquished property
• Acquires replacement property from the Seller and transfers it to the Exchanger
• Structures the exchange per IRC 1031
• Prepares all related documentation
• Monitors and instructs the Exchanger of action to ensure maintained compliance throughout the exchange
