Forward 1031 Exchanges

We handle the forward exchange process for investors across the country every single day. This is the most common way to defer your capital gains taxes. Specifically, you sell your current property first and then acquire your replacement property. We manage the timelines and hold the funds to ensure you remain IRS-compliant throughout the transition.

Strict Timelines for Success

The IRS is very strict about two specific dates. Missing either of these will disqualify your entire deferral.

45-Day Identification: You have exactly 45 days after your sale to identify your new properties in writing.
180-Day Closing: You must close on your new property within 180 days of the original sale.
Identification Rules: You must select properties under the Three-Property, 200%, or 95% rule sets.

Like-Kind Property: The Ultimate Flexibility

Many people think they must buy the same type of building they sold. However, "like-kind" actually refers to the use of the property. You can sell a single-family rental and buy a commercial office building, or sell a New York apartment and buy a Florida retail center — without paying a dime in capital gains tax.
