1031 Tax Exchange in Asheville NC Real Estate

If you already own investment property you may want to consider a 1031 Tax Exchange. This rule allows you to sell your Asheville NC real estate property and purchase another like kind property while deferring any capital gains taxes. A few basic rules must be followed.

IRS rules dictate the acquisition price of the unprecedented parcel must be greater than the net sale of the "sold" property.
 
 The Asheville properties must be held for investment or used in commerce or industry. All cash and other proceeds received from the transaction has top be infused to acquire the nuevo property. A Qualified Intermediary (also called a Q.I.) must hold this real estate capital.

The  has a grand total of 180 days from closing the "sold" NC mountain real estate property to acquire the replacement property. The primordial 45 days are characterized as the "Identification Period" and must be used to pinpoint and finger Asheville real estate in script to the Q.I. the new NC alpine real estate property or properties. The investor may designate up to trio of tracts to eventually acquire at least one. If the speculative buyer chooses to identify more than a treble of properties, the total fair market valuation of the chosen handful cannot surpass two hundred percent of the ceded property.

A "Reverse Exchange" allows a third party (typically clasped by a monad held by the  Q.I.) to acquire the surrogate property for you prior to relinquishing the property you are selling.  Once you close on the relinquishing property you then close on the replacement Asheville NC mountain property.  There are some additional requirements.  This route is a smidgen more byzantine and involves more toll outlay than a traditional 1031 tax exchange but it is possible.

Anyone officially entrusted with handling caches for other folks is bound by fiduciary responsibilities. However, there are no state or federal regulations governing the conduct of Qualified Intermediaries. One should choose a company very heedfully. Speak with confidants, reckoners, esquires, laypersons, confessors and brokers who are versed and practiced with exchanges and ask their sentiment.


As with any tariff issue, approach your tax professional when weighing a 1031 tax exchange.
