Understanding 1031 Exchanges

The most powerful tax deferral strategy in real estate investing.

How 1031 Exchanges Work

Section 1031 of the IRS code allows you to defer all capital gains and depreciation recapture taxes by reinvesting sale proceeds into a "like-kind" replacement property. The tax is deferred, not eliminated — but many investors do serial 1031s and ultimately pass properties to heirs with a stepped-up basis.

Key Deadlines

45 days after closing to identify up to 3 replacement properties (or more under special rules). 180 days to close on the replacement property. A Qualified Intermediary (QI) must hold the proceeds — you can never touch the cash. Missing either deadline triggers full taxation.

Like-Kind Requirements

Any real property held for investment or business can exchange for any other real property. Apartment to office, retail to industrial, land to building — all qualify. Personal residences and property held primarily for sale (dealer property) do NOT qualify.

Boot and Partial Exchanges

"Boot" is any cash or non-like-kind property received in the exchange. Boot is taxable. If you sell for $2M and only reinvest $1.8M, the $200K boot is taxed. To fully defer, the replacement property must be equal or greater in value, and all equity must be reinvested.
