1031 EXCHANGE PROPERTIES
Sentry CRE provides expertise in their services while helping find suitable replacement properties.
If you are new to the 1031 Exchange property process you might have questions.
​
What is a 1031 exchange property?
-
1031 Exchanges are a tax deferred solution. This offers taxpayers one of the last great opportunities to build wealth while saving on taxes.
-
You can dispose of investment or business use assets. You can acquire replacement properties and defer your taxes.
What are the requirements?
To defer taxes , you must identify and
-
a) Acquire “like kind” replacement property of equal or greater value.
-
b) Purchase replacement property.
-
c) Reinvest all of your equity into the replacement property.
-
d) Obtain the same or greater debt on the replacement property.
-
e) Most exchanges involve multiple properties.
Debt is replaced by additional cash. Cash equity cannot be replaced by additional debt.
A 1031 exchange is rarely a swap of properties between two parties.
​
How does the process work?
Here are some excerpts to help you understand how it works.
-
Prior to closing sale of Relinquished Property, we will help you identify an Intermediary to work with you. For a 1031 Exchange, this would require an Exchange Agreement.
-
Prior to closing the sale of Relinquished Property, the Seller must assign rights under the sales contract to the Intermediary. Seller provides notice of assignment to the Buyer.
-
At closing net proceeds pay directly to the Intermediary (exchange funds) and are held in a separate account to purchase a replacement property.
-
The Exchanger (you the seller of the previous property) has 45 days from the date the property is transfers to identify potential replacement properties thru Sentry CRE.
-
The Exchanger can only acquire from a list provided of identified properties.
-
The 1031 Exchanger prior to closing will notify the Intermediary to wire funds directly to the seller. Funds can be wired additionally to the closing agent for purchase of the property.
-
The final purchase must be complete by the earlier of the 180th day after transfer of the first Relinquished property or the due date (incl extensions) for filing the Exchanger’s tax returns.
The Exchanger (taxpayer) who is selling the Relinquished property would hire Sentry CRE as their commercial real estate broker.
Sentry CRE identifies the properties while helping Clients negotiate and close on a solution. Sentry CRE will recommend the intermediary for you to make your transaction as seamless as possible.
