The Section 1031 Exchange of Internal Revenue Service (IRS), also known as Starker Exchange or Tax-Deferred Exchange, clearly states that there are no gains and losses incur on exchange of like-kind property. Without gains or losses, the exchange of property defers the tax. Like-kind property means same nature or character. And, the property for exchange must be used for business or investment purpose in order to qualify.
The qualified property includes apartments, rental houses, retail properties, commercial, raw land, office buildings, industrial, and ranches. The non-qualified property includes personal residences, dealer properties, partnerships interests, inventory, stocks, bonds, notes, securities, indebtedness, and other properties.
IRS also permits to mix and match the nature or character property. For example, you can trade an apartment for rental house. And, IRS gives the owner of the property forty days to produce a list of possible trades, and one hundred eighty days to complete the exchange of property.
The owner can also exchange two, three, or more property for one property. The general rule is the replacement property exceeds or matches the value and debt of the property being exchanged. For example, a raw land which is worth $600,000 can be exchange for $300,000 rental houses, and $300,000 retail properties.
There are a number of reasons to exchange a property. The common reasons for exchange are rebuilding equity, moving investment location, upgrading size, reducing maintenance expenses, and maximizing the appreciation.
First, the owner proceeds with the regular sale of property. After the completion of purchase and sale agreement, the owner takes the agreement and notifies of 1031 exchange to closing agent. Then, the Qualified Intermediary (QI) who handles the exchange gets the information to closing agent, and sets up the proper papers for exchange. Within forty days, the owner writes and gives a list of replacement property to the QI. In one hundred eighty days, the owner signs the completion of purchase and sale agreement with 1031 Exchange Clause of the replacement property. Finally, the QI contacts the closing agent on replacement property to complete the 1031 Exchange.
The Real Estate Exchange effectively and efficiently reduces the tax. Failing to meet the requirement, the owner pays a hefty tax on capital gains. The QI makes sure that the owner qualifies for the exchange. Most QI composes a team of CPA and Attorney.
For several years now, the hottest industry in North America has been real estate. Homes, business facilities, and property are in increasing demand as our economy and populations grow. You can buy just about any property, anywhere, and realize appreciation in its cost within a relatively short period of time.
Chances are that you or someone you know has purchased a home, then sold it several years later for a nice profit. Usually, you put that money into your next home, giving you a nicer home while keeping the payments affordable.
But imagine if you could buy and sell homes right and left, earning a profit on each one. Sure, you say, that could be possible if you were a millionaire.
What most people don't yet know is ANYONE can buy and sell many homes EACH YEAR with absolutely NO money down. That's right, you finance 100% of the cost of the property.
If you were buying the home for yourself to live in, 100% financing would mean big payments. But because you're going to turn right around and re-sell this home at a profit, 100% is perfect. You get access to the property -- and the profit -- without having to put ANY of your money into the process.
I've seen many people earn $100,000 per year doing this. They use tested techniques to find the right properties, deliver surefire offers, buy the home on 100% financing, then re-sell at a very nice profit. They repeat this procedure on anywhere from a handful to dozens of homes each year.
Another way to pull big sums of cash out of property very quickly is through Probate. This very useful mechanism lets investors pay you cash for the property a deceased relative has left you. Often when a loved one passes on, they leave property and debt. Getting it all settled can be a very difficult thing for the average person. Probate lets you settle the debt and sell the property, both real estate and personal, with a single, easy transaction.
And here's one more way you or your business can earn a large amount of cash from property that is currently trickling funds to you. If someone is making payments to you for property purchased, investors will buy their note and give you the cash. This can take the risk and hassle out of collecting on your note while giving your cash flow a welcome infusion.
