1031 Real Estate
Investors sometimes have complex questions regarding what types of real estate qualify for 1031 exchanges. If an individual simply owns a business or investment property, such as a motel, and wishes to exchange it for a shopping center, it is relatively easy to determine that the properties will qualify. But what if an individual owns shares in a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)? What if an individual or a partnership has purchased a vacation home that is rented out during the year? These types of situations can be complex, and the answers may vary according to individual circumstances. For example, an individual's share in an REIT will not qualify under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, the entire REIT may participate in an exchange under many circumstances. One concept to keep in mind is that the title to the replacement property must be conveyed to exactly the same entity that held title to the relinquished property. Tenants-in-common (TIC) properties are generally eligible for 1031 exchanges. In a TIC investment, each owner holds separate title. The TM 1031 Exchange website contains information on properties from our latest survey. Investors should always conduct their own investigations and should make sure an investment will suit their individual circumstances.
