Like-kind exchanges
1031 Exchange Transactions in Porterville
Move from one investment property to the next on a strict timeline, with the real estate handled and your advisors kept informed.
Two Deadlines, No Extensions
Section 1031 of the tax code allows an investor to trade business or investment real estate for other like-kind property and, in the right circumstances, put off paying capital gains tax on the sale. Missing a single date can end that. When the property you are giving up closes, two windows open together: 45 days to name replacement property in writing, and 180 days to finish buying it. Neither one waits for a slow market. The sale money has to sit with a qualified intermediary in the meantime, and whether the exchange suits you is a question for your tax advisor. What we bring is the property work. On the way out, that is candid pricing, solid marketing and a tidy escrow, so the exchange begins on firm ground. On the way in, it is scouting possible replacements before your sale even closes, checking their comps and income so a looming deadline never talks you into paying too much, and negotiating closing dates that fit the exchange calendar. Rental houses, farm ground, commercial buildings and land can all play a part. Tax advice is outside our lane, and no tax outcome is ever promised. Keeping the properties on schedule, so your advisors can do their part, is inside it.

Sell and identify
The sale goes to market and closes. Within 45 days, you identify replacement property in writing with your intermediary, from options we have already researched.
Close on the replacement
Contract terms are negotiated and escrow is tracked so the purchase records before day 180 arrives.
