1031 Exchange
Posted on 10/3/17 at 9:05 am
Posted on 10/3/17 at 9:05 am
Can anyone shed some light or have experience doing a 1031 exchange?
I currently have a rental property in Dallas that I am considering selling and rolling those profits into some property in NW Arkansas. Looking at both raw land and single family homes.
I know to be able to use the 1031 the "new" property has to also be for investment/business use. But if I were to buy raw land and lease it to someone for whatever reason would that qualify? Or if I try to start some type of farming business on that land? Or if I built a small home after the purchase of said land to use for an Air Bnb, should that be any issue?
Also, what kind of intermediary should I use to make sure the exchange is successful?
Ideally I would like to buy the new property with the intention of eventually being able to use on a personal level, maybe while still using as an investment(Air Bnb). Thanks in advance!

A message board is not really the place to learn about how to transact a 1031 exchange. You should probably contact a CPA.

They're complicated. Reach out to a professional that has experience doing them.

Probably a CPA/someone with specific experience in 1031 transactions.

Get in contact with a tax attorney. They will act as the intermediary. In Baton Rouge, my Dad used Gunn & York about 15 years ago for a 1031. He used Gunn, worked well.

Lots of good information on this site. I used them as the intermediary, but ended up not doing the exchange, because I couldn't find a suitable property. I believe they have an office in Mandeville.

My basic understanding is a 1031 just can't be used for your primary residence. You could use it for a vacation home for instance, there are no rules on it having income or anything. Its simply meant for real estate that is not your primary residence, because there are different rules there.

I'm a CPA but I don't actively work in tax so I'm not much help. But I remember that those can be a bitch.

A real estate lawyer can do it for you expect to pay around a grand. I've only done it on commercial properties, you can also do a reverse 1031 for a little more money.
