Step 1: Start Your Exchange
Set the foundation early and avoid costly missteps
Understand how qualified intermediaries (QIs) are commonly used to hold exchange proceeds during a 1031 exchange.
Review educational guidance to understand common 1031 exchange timelines, objectives, and planning considerations.
Develop early replacement strategies before identification deadlines arrive.
Early education is critical, as 1031 exchanges are governed by strict IRS rules and timelines.
Step 2: Build Your Replacement Strategy
Explore common replacement property options used in 1031 exchanges.
Compare how different replacement property structures may be used to address income, diversification, and long-term planning considerations.
Evaluate replacement options across Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) and other qualifying real estate structures.
Identify properties early to maintain flexibility and meet IRS identification requirements.
These considerations are especially important during the 45-day identification period and the 180-day exchange period.
Step 3: Close With Confidence
Execute your exchange with clarity, coordination, and precision
Confirm documentation and timing to ensure compliance with IRS exchange requirements.
Understand how closing logistics are typically coordinated among qualified intermediaries, custodians, and transaction partners.
Approach the exchange process with confidence, supported by clear structure and informed coordination.
