Requirement One
Exchange proceeds from relinquished or sold properties must be exchanged into purchased or replacement properties.
Requirement Two
Both equity and debt in the replacement property must be greater than or equal to equity and debt in the relinquished property. (Consult your tax advisor regarding cash contribution to reduce debt on replacement properties).
Requirement Three
Exchanger may not realize actual or constructive receipt of any sale proceeds until after completion of the exchange. A Qualified Intermediary is a professional exchange facilitator who escrows all sales proceeds and executes documents under “Safe Harbor” provisions.
Requirement Four
Relinquished and Replacement property must be “Like-Kind” property held for investment or for productive use in trade or business. The term “Like-Kind” refers to the nature or character of the property, not to its grade or quality. Personal property exchange rules regarding “Like-Kind” should be reviewed with a Qualified Intermediary and legal advisor.
