Where to Start With a 1031 Exchange
Most sellers arrive with one of seven problems. Pick yours and the page that answers it is one click away. Every page opens with the answer, then shows the rule, the number and the form behind it.
The one rule that decides everything else
A 1031 exchange has to be set up before your sale closes, and from that closing you have 45 days to identify replacement property in writing and 180 days to receive it. Every situation below is either about getting inside those rules in time or about which replacement property fits the life you want after the sale.
Has the sale already closed, or is the 45-day clock running?
Did you inherit the property, or are you planning for heirs?
Do partners, an LLC, a trust or a divorce complicate the title?
Is it the kind of property that raises its own questions?
Would rather talk it through?
Tell us what you are selling and when it closes. A Breakwater Exchange advisor will map the options above onto your numbers and send a free proposal.
