How to Qualify for a Like-Kind Exchange
To qualify for a 1031 Exchange Account setup, the replacement property must be a “like kind” property held for investment or used productively in a trade or business. It must also be of equal or greater value, and you must reinvest all of the equity in the replacement property, resulting in the same or greater debt on the replacement property (cash equity cannot be replaced with additional debt).
The following are examples of qualified “like-kind” real property exchanges:
- Raw land for rental property
- Single-family rental for multi-family rental
- Retail space for motel/hotel
- Farms/ranch for a golf course
- 30-year leasehold interest for fee simple interest
- Non-income-producing raw land for income-producing rental property
Both properties must be similar enough to qualify as “like-kind.” Like-kind property is property of the same nature, character or class. Quality or grade does not matter. Most real estate will be like-kind to other real estate.
