How Exchanges Work in 4 Steps
01
Owner sells the property and includes certain exchange language in the escrow instructions
02
At the closing, all sale proceeds are deposited with a Qualified Intermediary (QI) in order to avoid taxable “boot” to the seller
03
Seller has exactly 45 days from the close of escrow to identify the potential replacement property(ties)
04
Seller has to complete the purchase of the replacement property within 180 days of COE by instructing the QI to release the money for the purchase of the replacement property(ties).
Other Exchange Requirements:
- Replacement property must be of equal or greater value
- Replacement Property must have equal or greater debt
- All proceeds must be reinvested to make the transaction completely tax deferred
