Any advice from the money board on 1031 Reverse Exchange process? Plan is to seek reputable counsel but any insight is appreciated.

Sell Property: Producing Oil and Gas Property (Real Property)

Buy Property: Acreage w/ house (Real Property)

Found country property I want to purchase prior to the maturity of a small working interest in a O&G multi well producing asset (wells just came online and want to show 3-5 months of average cash flow to maximize my sale)

O&G wells are held in sole proprietor LLC (me) with other O&G properties. I want to identify and “nominate” this property within the LLC to be sold.

My understanding is:
1.) purchase new property via Exchange accommodation broker
2.) officially identity on record the O&G properties within 45 days of purchase
3.) sell said O&G properties within 180 days

Going through a “qualified intermediate” or staying away from disqualifed persons is confusing as it appears to eliminate my CPA (who I would prefer to use).

Any info on costs, experiences, IRS scrutiny etc is appreciated.

Is the house you’re buying going to be your primary residence? I’d make sure there are no restrictions on whether the purchased property has to be an investment property or whether it can/cannot be your primary residence.

Any reason you wouldn't just keep the land use the O&G proceeds to pay for your new land?

This is where it blows up for people. You gotta sell it with 180 days. End of story. No extensions, no excuses. Something happens to your buyer, he/she dies, financing problems, etc. 180 days seems like a long time but commercial RE can cause issues.

I'm not telling you not to do it... just warning you of pitfalls. Hopefully you have idea of buyer before the clock starts.

Unless your CPA specializes in this kind of work, he doesn't want to do it anyways. There are professionals out there dedicated to this kind of stuff. Use them.
