Property Sale & 1031 Exchange Planning

Build the replacement-property plan before selling in New York.

We help New York property owners organize the qualified intermediary, deadlines, reinvestment target, direct-property search, DST education, and independent professional introductions before a closing controls the decisions.

Coordinate the New York sale plan through replacement closing.

We help organize the New York transaction, introduce the independent professionals the facts require, and keep open questions visible. The qualified intermediary, CPA, attorney, brokers, lenders, inspectors, and licensed securities professionals remain responsible for their regulated work.

Before the Sale

For the New York exchange, clarify ownership, use, basis questions, debt, expected equity, management goals, and the professionals already involved.

While Under Contract

Confirm the qualified intermediary, closing instructions, calendar, lender needs, and a written brief for the New York exchange.

During Identification

Compare primary and backup candidates against the New York exchange for diligence, financing, control, workload, risk, and ability to close.

Through Replacement Closing

Keep the New York exchange team aligned on title, inspections, environmental review, insurance, entity documents, funding directions, and advisor questions.

Compare ownership paths against the same New York sale objective.

The New York comparison is not active property versus a simplified passive option. Each path should be reviewed for decision rights, diligence, leverage, fees, transfer limits, property risk, and a realistic closing schedule.

1031 Exchange FAQs

A 1031 exchange, named after Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, allows real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling an investment property by reinvesting the proceeds into a like-kind property. This powerful tax strategy has been used by savvy investors for decades to grow their real estate portfolios tax-efficiently.

The IRS requires that you identify replacement property within 45 calendar days of the relinquished closing and complete the acquisition within 180 days. These deadlines are strict and cannot be extended. Missing either deadline disqualifies the exchange, which is why working with experienced professionals is essential.

Any real property held for productive use in a trade, business, or investment can exchange for other real property of the same use class. This includes multifamily buildings, office properties, retail centers, industrial warehouses, and vacant land. Primary residences and inventory do not qualify.
