1031 Exchange is Easy

1031 Exchange is Easy and should always be!

Do you have to use a real estate agent to sell your property? Can we FSBO the house we own to maximize profits?

without comments

Absolutely! You may certainly 1031 Exchange your property for another property without the assistance of real estate agent. 1031 Exchange is a tack-on to a straight real estate sale and all real estate rules still apply. Though, in defense of real estate pros, the advantages of using a real estate agent are endless. Often a full-time marketer is the best way to sell your property and help you find a new one. Most real estate agents earn their commissions which are deducted from your tax as a necessary cost.

Can I exchange my third ownership (TIC) into a REIT?Thank you.

without comments

This really depends on how the 1031 exchange property is deeded and is there actually going to be a sale of the property.

If you are a 1/3 owner is it “undivided interest”? Also, the property must be sold as the TIC. The TIC
can’t buy you out.

When is the 1031 Exchange tax due?

without comments

If you successfully conducted your 1031 Exchange property, there should be no tax due from the exchange because your taxes have been deferred to the next sale…whenever you decide you want to sell it. You are required to report your 1031 Exchange with your taxes at tax time.

I own a residential rental property in VA that I am planning to sell. I am converting my current residence in Fairview Heights IL to a rental property and want to put the proceeds from the VA property into the IL property. What issues do I need to be aware of?

with one comment

Thanks for contacting Realty Exchangers.
Here are some issues that I see, though advice from an attorney or CPA is always preferred as I am only allowed to give general tips and information.
1. You should know that a 1031 Exchange can ONLY happen when there is an exchange between 2 or more separate parties. You CANNOT 1031 Exchange with yourself, even if the properties are titled differently. This means you are NOT allowed to move money from one property that you own into another property that you already own. This is a taxable event and there are no 1031 Exchange benefits available.
2. If you are converting your primary residence into a rental, you need to be able to show that you’ve collected rents for 2 tax periods before the IRS will allow you claim it as a rental.

Can you tell me if there is a CO tax on a 1031 exchange done in the state and I am not a Colorado resident.

without comments

We are not aware of any specific state tax on a 1031 Exchange, as 1031 is a federal action report with your income taxes.
1031 Exchange is no different than a regular sale.
