The Reality of 1031-Exchanges and A Piece of Advice. Beware Before You Complete an Exchange!

🔑 Busting 1031 Exchange Myths! 💼

There are many misconceptions about 1031 exchanges. Here’s the truth:

93% of IPX’s exchanges get completed, but it’s okay if they don’t. They tell their clients, if you don’t find something you love, don’t buy it just to save on taxes. Paying a bit more for a property you really want is fine, but don’t settle. Most are paying market value, not overpaying just to complete the exchange. Make smart, informed decisions! 🏡✨

Utilizing a 1031-Exchange to Gift Your Heirs More Property #realestate #1031exchange
Utilizing the 1031-Exchange to Gift Your Heirs More Property. A Common Strategy Utilized by Experienced Investors.

💡 Discover the Power of 1031 Exchanges! 🏢✨

One of IPX’s clients in El Segundo was ready to sell his large office building, worried that his three sons might clash over the inheritance. Instead of cashing out, they suggested a smarter route: sell the building, do a 1031 exchange, and let each son pick their own property within a set budget.

🌟 The Result: Each son chose a property, reducing potential conflicts and setting them up for success. The properties were placed in trusts, making each son a beneficiary and trustee. This way, when the father passes, the sons inherit their chosen properties with a step-up in basis, eliminating taxes and family disputes.

📈 Why It Worked: Allowing each son to pick their own property ensured fairness and personal accountability. If one property outperforms another, it’s no one’s fault but the son who chose it.

1031-Exchange Rule 3: The 95% Exception #realestate #realestateinvesting #1031exchange
The Various Strategies to Utilize in a 1031-Exchange. Did You Know This Option?

📊 Diving deeper into 1031 exchange rules! 🏢 The rarely used Rule Three, known as the 95% Exception, allows flexibility in property identification:

✨ You can identify any number of properties without value restrictions.
✨ However, you must purchase at least 95% of the total value of what you’ve identified.

This rule is uncommon due to its stringent purchase requirement. For most scenarios:

Selling one property and buying one property? Consider the Three Property Rule.
Selling one property and diversifying? Opt for the 200% Rule.
Navigating these rules with a strategic approach ensures compliance and maximizes your investment potential. 🌟
