Challenges

  • Investors sometimes underestimate their gain because they forget to subtract accumulated depreciation from basis
  • Partnership and LLC ownership can complicate who is eligible to participate in a 1031 exchange on the sale
  • Waiting until after closing to consider a 1031 exchange eliminates the option, since the exchange must be structured before the sale closes

What we deliver

  • A basis and gain worksheet tailored to your investment property
  • A plain language explanation of how ownership structure affects your 1031 exchange eligibility
  • A pre closing checklist to preserve the option to defer gain through a 1031 exchange
