A Practice Note discussing Section 1031 like-kind exchanges of real estate, which is an important tax planning tool that allows real property owners to defer gains on the sale of real estate by investing the proceeds into replacement property.
Section 1031 is part of federal law, so it applies to federal taxes, which are the same no matter what state you're in. You can perform a 1031 exchange between business or investment properties located anywhere in the United States, so long as they meet all other 1031 requirements.
Lack of Liquidity- Exchanging properties continually can tie up funds in real estate, making it hard for an investor to access liquid capital if required. While real estate can be a profitable investment, it's not as liquid as some other assets.
You can perform a 1031 exchange with foreign properties, so long as your relinquished and replacement properties are both located outside the United States.
To qualify for a 1031 exchange, the property being sold and the replacement property must meet certain criteria, including being held for productive use in a trade or business or as an investment, and being of like kind. In addition, the property being exchanged must not be a primary residence or a vacation rental.
While foreign property is not of a like kind with domestic property, foreign properties are considered like-kind with one another. You can perform a 1031 exchange with foreign properties, so long as your relinquished and replacement properties are both located outside the United States.
