In order to qualify for a tax deferred exchange under IRC 1031, both the relinquished property and replacement property must be of “Like- Kind.” The term “Like-Kind” refers to the nature or character of the property and not to its grade or quality. Exchangers must have held the relinquished property for investment or for productive use in their trade or business and must intend to do the same with the replacement property. Exchanges of personal property must be of the same general asset class or the same product class. Consult Northland Securities1031 as well as a qualified intermediary, tax and legal advisors to assure “Like-Kind” rules are followed.
