      <title>Concise Overview of 1031 Exchanges - Series V</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Concise Overview of 1031 Exchanges - Series V&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1031 Exchange Identification Requirements&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You must &lt;a href=&quot;http://exeterco.com/article_identification_rules_like_kind_replacement_property.aspx&quot;&gt;identify your potential like-kind replacement properties&lt;/a&gt; to your Qualified Intermediary within the &lt;a href=&quot;http://exeterco.com/1031_exchange_deadlines.aspx&quot;&gt;1031 exchange time limits&lt;/a&gt; discussed above.&amp;nbsp; The identification must comply with one (1) of the like-kind replacement property identification rules outlined below: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Three (3) Property Identification Rule&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The three (3) property identification rule is the most common rule and is used in most 1031 Exchange transactions.&amp;nbsp; This rule allows you to identify up to but not more than three (3) potential like-kind replacement properties. &amp;nbsp;It is highly advisable that you identify three (3) properties even if your intent is to only acquire one.&amp;nbsp; If you are looking to diversify your investment real estate portfolio and needs to identify more than three potential like-kind replacement properties one of the following two rules should be considered. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;200% of Fair Market Value Identification Rule&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 200% of fair market value rule allows you to identify more than three (3) potential like-kind replacement properties as long as the total fair market value of all the potential like-kind replacement properties identified does not exceed 200% of the sales price of the relinquished property(ies).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;95% Exception to Identification Rules&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 95% exception to the identification rules allows you to identify as many like-kind replacement properties as you wish provided you actually acquire and close on 95% of the fair market value actually identified.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Concise Overview of 1031 Exchanges - Series IV&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1031 Exchange Structures&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The most common 1031 exchange structure is a forward, or delayed, 1031 exchange where you sell your relinquished property first and then acquire your like-kind replacement properties within the prescribed &lt;a href=&quot;http://exeterco.com/1031_exchange_deadlines.aspx&quot;&gt;1031 exchange deadlines&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; A reverse 1031 exchange allows you to acquire your like-kind replacement property first and then subsequently dispose of your relinquished property within the prescribed &lt;a href=&quot;http://exeterco.com/1031_exchange_deadlines.aspx&quot;&gt;1031 exchange deadlines&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; An improvement (build-to-suit or construction) 1031 exchange allows you to use your 1031 exchange funds to acquire like-kind replacement property and to use your excess 1031 exchange funds to construct or improve the like-kind replacement property acquired.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1031 Exchange Deadlines &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are very specific and mandatory &lt;a href=&quot;http://exeterco.com/1031_exchange_deadlines.aspx&quot;&gt;1031 exchange deadlines&lt;/a&gt; that must be followed in a forward 1031 exchange.&amp;nbsp; You have 45 &lt;em&gt;calendar&lt;/em&gt; days from the close of the relinquished property transaction to identify potential like-kind replacement properties being considered for purchase and an additional 135 &lt;em&gt;calendar&lt;/em&gt; days - for a total of 180 &lt;em&gt;calendar&lt;/em&gt; days&amp;nbsp;- to complete the 1031 Exchange by acquiring some or all of the identified like-kind replacement properties.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Concise Overview of 1031 Exchanges - Series III&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like Kind Property Requirement&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a lot of misinformation regarding what constitutes &lt;a href=&quot;http://exeterco.com/article_like_kind_replacement_property.aspx&quot;&gt;like-kind replacement property&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; It is not true that if you sell a condo you must acquire a condo, etc.&amp;nbsp; As long as your relinquished and replacement properties meet the qualified use requirement discussed above any kind of real estate held for investment is like kind to any other kind of real estate that is also held for investment.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can exchange out of or into any of the following asset types: single family, multi-family, commercial office, retail shopping, industrial, vacant land, oil and gas interests, mineral rights, riparian water rights, and tenant-in-common investments.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Multiple Assets and Fractional Interests&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 1031 exchange allows you to easily reposition, diversify or consolidate your investment real estate portfolios.&amp;nbsp; You can sell one relinquished property and diversify your portfolio by acquiring multiple like-kind replacement properties, or you can sell multiple relinquished properties and consolidate your portfolio by acquiring fewer but larger like-kind replacement properties.&amp;nbsp; You can also sell or purchase fractional (partial) interests in property.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;</description>

      <title>Short Sales and the 1031 Exchange</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Short Sales and the 1031 Exchange&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The question was asked of me, &amp;quot;can I exchange into a short sale property&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The easy answer is YES!&amp;nbsp; Of course there are a lot of what ifs with that answer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First is both the lender and seller must agree to the terms of the sale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That seems easy however nothing ever is.&amp;nbsp; In my clients case there were two loans made out on the same day, a 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; and a 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt;.&amp;nbsp; So now both lenders must agree, that&amp;#39;s when the first of many issues start.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second is the exchanger only has 45 days to ID the replacement property.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is where additional issues come up. &amp;nbsp;The 45 days goes by very fast that means you should always ID more than one property hopefully 3 properties.&amp;nbsp; The lenders don&amp;#39;t seem to be in a hurry, they are always hoping a higher offer comes in.&amp;nbsp; So their answer on if they agree or not to the terms of the sale could come after the 45 day ID period.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My client originally wanted to ID 2 properties both short sales.&amp;nbsp; Now he is up to 3 properties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Third the lender can withdraw from escrow all the way up until the closing day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now the exchange must close within 180&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; day after the relinquished closed.&amp;nbsp; Therefore, if everything is going great and your are going to close within the 180&lt;sup&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;days all of the sudden the lender gets a better offer.&amp;nbsp; Now the investor is back to square one, however instead of having 180 days to &amp;nbsp;buy the replacement property he is short all the time spent on the first property.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This post is just a brief summary there are many other issues that may and do arise therefore, make sure you have a good investment team when purchasing properties, starting with your CPA, attorney, real estate agent, and of course your Exeter 1031 Exchange, as your qualified intermediary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1031 Exchange into a 721 or an upREIT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please review to gain additional knowledge contact me.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Section 721 - Exchange of Property Into A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://exeterco.com/irs_code_regulations_rulings.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code&lt;/a&gt; (&amp;quot;721 Exchange&amp;quot;) allows you to exchange your rental or investment real estate for shares in a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT).&amp;nbsp; This is called a 721 exchange&amp;nbsp;- also known as an upREIT or 1031/721 exchange.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You would typically utilize the upREIT in conjunction with selling relinquished property and acquiring like-kind replacement property pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.&amp;nbsp; Once the replacement property has been held as rental or investment property for 12 to 18 months or more in order to demonstrate the Investors intent to hold the property and qualify for 1031 exchange treatment, the replacement property is contributed into a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) in exchange for shares of stock in the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) pursuant to Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 721 exchange does not have to be in conjunction with a 1031 exchange, however.&amp;nbsp; The Investor could simply contribute rental or investment property already owned by the Investor directly into the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) as part of a 721 exchange.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 721 exchange can provide a Investor with a great exit strategy by exchanging out of his or her investment real estate portfolio and into shares of a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that should provide more liquidity once the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) becomes publicly traded and listed on a securities exchange.&amp;nbsp; The Investor also gains complete control and flexibility over the recognition of the capital gain tax by determining the timing and the quantity of shares sold in the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, the 721 exchange essentially eliminates the ability for the Investor to exchange back into real estate and defer his or her capital gain taxes by using a 1031 exchange because the Investor now owns securities instead of a real estate interest.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;</description>

      <title>1031 Exchange what is it?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Section 1031 - 1031 Exchange of Property Held for Investment&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://exeterco.com/irs_code_regulations_rulings.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code&lt;/a&gt; (&amp;quot;1031 exchange&amp;quot;) provides that property held as rental or investment property or property used in your business (&amp;quot;relinquished property&amp;quot;) can be exchanged for &amp;quot;like-kind&amp;quot; property also held as rental or investment property or property used in your business (&amp;quot;replacement property&amp;quot;) allowing you to defer your Federal, and in most cases, state capital gain and depreciation recapture income tax liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is important to note that 1031 exchange transactions are tax-deferred exchanges&amp;nbsp;- not tax-free exchanges - as many speakers, authors and advisors frequently refer to them.&amp;nbsp; Your capital gain and depreciation recapture income tax liabilities are merely deferred&amp;nbsp;- and can be continually and indefinitely deferred&amp;nbsp;- into like-kind replacement properties acquired as part of a series of 1031 exchange transactions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The tax deferral benefits of the 1031 exchange allow a Investor to sell, dispose or convert real property without reducing his or her cash position by paying capital gain or depreciation recapture taxes.&amp;nbsp; This provides the Investor with the continued liquidity necessary to increase his or her real estate portfolio by trading up in value and ultimately increasing his or her net worth by improving cash flow and capital appreciation from the portfolio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Qualified Intermediary is required when completing a 1031 exchange transaction.&amp;nbsp; Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code applies to personal property as well as real property.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Steve&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Can Closing Costs be included in a 1031 Exchange</title>
      <description>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Closing Costs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;A. There is little definitive authority in the IRC or Regulations as to whether the&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;taxpayer incurs a tax liability on amount of money paid for closing expenses&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;B. The payment of real estate brokerage commissions does not result in taxable boot&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Revenue Ruling 72-456, 1972-2 CB 468&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;i. Commissions paid by the taxpayer are added to the basis of the replacement&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;property&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;C. Most tax experts conclude that the payment of many non-recurring costs of sale or&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;purchase from the exchange proceeds should not create taxable boot&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;i. Title insurance premiums&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;ii. Escrow or closing agent fees&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;iii. Recording fees&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;iv. Intermediary fees&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;v. Documentary transfer taxes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;vi. Legal fees&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;vii. Property inspections&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;D. Costs that are perceived to be for benefits other than acquiring the replacement&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;property may result in taxable boot&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;i. Obtaining a loan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;1. Loan fees&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;2. Interest&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;3. Points&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;4. Prorated mortgage insurance&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;5. Lender appraisal fees, environmental studies, inspections, and surveys&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;ii. Deductible recurring operating expenses&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;1. Prorated property taxes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;2. Prorated insurance payments&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;3. Rents&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;E. Accrued interest or prorated property tax payments or security deposits paid to the&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;buyer of the relinquished property can be treated by the taxpayer as non-recourse&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;debt from which the taxpayer is relieved and can be offset against debt assumed on&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;the replacement property Technical Advice Memorandum (TAM) 8328011&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;F. Non-exchange expenses debited to the taxpayer and paid with exchange equity will&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;be taxable boot but may be offset by items, such as prepaid taxes or dues, credited&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;to the taxpayer&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Partnership interest and 1031 Exchanges</title>
      <description>&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;A. Partnership interests are not exchangeable&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;B. Partnerships can complete a 1031 exchange&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;C. Problems may occur when partners have different investment goals&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;i. Cash out of partnership&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;ii. Sell rather than exchange&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;iii. Solutions&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;1. Partnership dissolves under IRC Section 708&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;2. Partnership completes exchange; refinances property; distributes cash to&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;partners who do not want to participate in the exchange&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;3. Partnership completes exchange; reorganizes under co-tenancy ownership,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;where two or more owners each hold an undivided fractional interest in&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;property; distributes property according to each co-tenant&amp;#39;s pro-rata interest&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;4. Partnership reorganizes under co-tenancy ownership where each owner has&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;an undivided fractional interest in property; each co-owner pursues its&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;individual investment goals&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;a. Has the partner met the &amp;quot;held for investment&amp;quot; requirement?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;5. A partnership may elect to submit a valid election under IRC Section 761(a)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;to opt out of the application of Subchapter K&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;a. Must treat its partnership interests as interests in individual assets, as&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;distinguished from an interest in a partnership&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;b. Must be organized for investment purposes as opposed to business&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;purposes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;c. Must not offer any auxiliary business services above and beyond those&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;customarily associated with the investment either directly or though an&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;agent&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;6. A taxpayer who disposes of property in a 1031 exchange and acquires&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;replacement property, which is then contributed to a partnership in exchange&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;for a partnership interest, may qualify for non-recognition treatment&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The receipt of any excess cash, net reduction in replacement property debt, net&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;reduction in replacement property value, excluded property, and/or non-like-kind&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;property by the taxpayer in the exchange is taxable and termed boot IRC &amp;sect;1031(b)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;i. The receipt of excess cash in an exchange is termed cash boot&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;ii. The net reduction in replacement property debt is known as mortgage boot or&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;mortgage relief&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;iii. No losses are recognized under Section 1031, even if non-qualifying property is&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;received in the exchange IRC &amp;sect;1031(c)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;iv.

Taxpayers who retain seller carry-back financing must recognize gain on the&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;note&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;2. Gain on seller carry-back financing may be offset by the contribution of cash&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EXETER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 1031 EXCHANGE SERVICES, LLC&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Steven W.
