The Safe Harbor Reverse Exchange FAQs
What is a Reverse Exchange?
Simultaneous Exchanges with Intermediary
In a simultaneous exchange, the old Relinquished Property and the new Replacement Property are transferred concurrently.
Personal Property Exchange
Deferral of capital gain and other taxes through an IRC §1031 tax deferred exchange is also available for personal property held for investment or for productive use in a trade or business.
Multiple Asset Exchanges
Some business or investment assets, such as a hotel or farm, consist of both real and personal property.
The Exchange Process
Timing is important. Certain actions must be taken in sequence and exchanges must be completed within strict time limits.
