Under the Treasury Regulations, exchanges must be completed in the proper sequence. This means the sale of the relinquished property must take place before the acquisition of the new or replacement property. However, on occasion, the facts are such that a taxpayer wishes to acquire the new property before the sale or risk losing the desired new property. This reverse sequence, also approved by the IRS, is often referred to as a “</span></span><span><a href="https://www.accruit.com/blog/primer-1031-exchanges-and-related-types-ex… 1031 exchange</span></span></a></span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span><span><span><span>.</span></span></span></span></span><span><span>” The reverse exchange technique essentially consists of an exchange accommodator holding or “parking” title to the new property on behalf of the taxpayer to avoid the taxpayer having simultaneous ownership of two properties. Immediately after the sale of the old property (but no later than 180 days) the exchange accommodator transfers the new property to the taxpayer. This 'technically' creates the proper sequence. <b>Financing the Purchase of the Replacement Property</b></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span><span><span><span><span>The concept of a Reverse 1031 exchange can sound attractive to many investors until the reality of financing the purchase of the replacement property is considered.&nbsp; For investors with the means to purchase the property outright in cash or those with strong lending relationships this can be relatively straightforward, however, for others they must ensure they take some nuances into consideration such as:</span></span></span></span></span></p>

<ol>
<li><span><span><span><span><span>The title to the replacement property will be parked with an entity created by the Qualified Intermediary for the sole purpose of holding title to the property.&nbsp; The loan cannot be in the name of the taxpayer, but instead must be in the name of the parking entity.&nbsp; This requires a short-term bridge loan that can be refinanced into a longer-term loan or paid down once the old property is sold and new property is transferred into the name of the taxpayer.&nbsp; Many banks will not entertain these loans as they do not fit into their traditional lending model.&nbsp; It may take some time discussing with several local or regional banks to get them to understand the structure.&nbsp; </span></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span><span><span><span><span>Ensure you have sufficient collateral and equity.&nbsp; Banks will underwrite the replacement property as well as look at the taxpayers overall financial position to ensure adequate coverage.&nbsp; Traditionally, banks are willing to lend between 65-75% of the replacement property’s value to qualified buyers depending on the type of property and quality of collateral.</span></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span><span><span><span><span>Think about financing well in advance of pursuing a purchase through a reverse 1031 exchange.&nbsp; Banks take time to order appraisals and underwrite collateral for specialty bridge financing.&nbsp; This can be several weeks.&nbsp; If you are in a rush and can’t wait for a bank, there are lenders willing to provide these types of loans, but you are going to pay handsomely for it in rate and upfront fees</span></span></span></span></span></li>
</ol>

<p><span><span><span><span><span>Financing a reverse &nbsp;exchange can be more difficult than a traditional loan, but it is common place for 1031s.&nbsp; Take the time and do the research by speaking with several banks and the right Qualified Intermediary - <a href="https://www.accruit.com/contact-us&quot; title="Start an Exchange with Accruit">Accruit</a>.</span></span></span></span></span></p>

<h2>Reverse 1031 Exchanges</h2>

<p class="MsoNormal">Under the Treasury Regulations, exchanges must be completed in the proper sequence. This means the sale of the relinquished property must take place before the acquisition of the new or replacement property. However, on occasion, the facts are such that a taxpayer wishes to acquire the new property before the sale or risk losing the desired new property.

<p class="MsoNormal">The reverse exchange technique essentially consists of an exchange facilitator holding or “parking” title to the new property on behalf of the taxpayer to avoid the taxpayer having simultaneous ownership of two properties. Immediately after the sale of the old property (but no later than 180 days) the exchange company affiliate transfers the new property to the taxpayer. This 'technically' creates the proper sequence.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For example, an investor holding a commercial investment property in Dallas, Texas is looking to take advantage of the market to sell their property but is concerned about finding the right replacement property in Fort Worth. That investor decided to wait to list their property and found the perfect property replacement 60 days later and purchased it through a Reverse Exchange with the help of an exchange facilitator. Upon closing on the new purchase, the investor can now continue earning rental income on the Dallas property and has 180 days to close on the sale to defer their gain into the newly purchased Fort Worth property.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<h2>Build-to-Suit or Improvement Exchange</h2>

<p class="MsoNormal">Build-to-Suit, also known as Construction-to-Suit or <a href="https://www.accruit.com/blog/can-property-improvement-costs-be-part-103…; title="improvement exchange">Improvement Exchange</a> refers to a type of exchange done where some of the proceeds of the sale of the relinquished property will be used to complete improvements on the replacement property so that the taxpayer can finalize the exchange where both the value of the land and the enhanced improvements will count for the amount the taxpayer traded for. Investors may want to build on raw land or put in new heating, ventilating, air conditioning, roof, and windows on an existing property. All of which can qualify if executed properly.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In this type of exchange, the exchange facilitator parks the replacement property on behalf of the taxpayer while the desired improvements are made. Upon the earlier 180 days or the completion of the improvements, the entire value of the real property and improvements is conveyed directly to the taxpayer to complete their exchange.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As an example, an investor owns an office building in Austin, Texas and wants to invest in multi-family units in Houston. However, the only multi-family complexes for sale need significant improvements to command a premium rental income. The investor can engage an exchange facilitator to consummate an <a href="https://www.accruit.com/blog/case-study-property-improvement-exchange-r…; title="improvement exchange of real estate">improvement exchange of real estate</a> whereby the purchase price and improvements to the new multi-family complex can be funded through the tax deferred proceeds of the sale of the commercial property in Austin.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span><o:p></o:p></p>

But failing to consider a reverse exchange could be costing many taxpayers more than they think. Let’s compare the exchange strategies of two siblings, Jean, and her brother Jeremy.</p>

<h2>Forward Exchange</h2>

<p>Jeremy is certain that a forward delayed exchange is the best way to handle the exchange of his investment property. His current property – which we will call Strawberry Field – is worth around $400,000 and yields about $3,000 in monthly rental income.</p>

<p>On March, Jeremy enters into a contract to sell Strawberry Field for $400,000, with closing scheduled for April 1. Closing occurs without delay, after which the $400,000 in exchange proceeds are wired to his qualified intermediary (“QI”). The QI is paid $1,000 for its services, leaving Jeremy with $399,000 to reinvest. Jeremy promptly starts looking for appropriate replacement properties. He is targeting single-family or condo-style properties near the local university. On May 15, Jeremy submits his identification list, designating three potential replacement condos, each worth $200,000. By the end of the month, Jeremy has been able to negotiate contracts for the purchase of two of the condos. Closings for the condos are scheduled for July 31. As a result of some title-related delays, Jeremy is able to complete the acquisition of the two condos on August 31, 152 days, or a full five months after he sold Strawberry Field. Jeremy has lost five months of rental income, $15,000, and paid $1,000 to his qualified intermediary, for a “loss” of $16,000.</p>

<h2>Reverse Exchange</h2>

<p>Jean was always the more analytical of the siblings. She consulted her QI months before she began the process of upgrading her investment situation, and has determined that a reverse exchange better suits her needs. A reverse exchange is one that takes place in a reverse sequence, that is, the replacement property is effectively acquired before the old property is sold. While a taxpayer is not allowed to directly acquire the new property first, a <a href="http://https://www.accruit.com/blog/are-1031-reverse-tax-deferred-excha… exchange structure</a> using an exchange company can accomplish the same thing.&nbsp;Jean’s current investment property – which we will call Solsbury Hill – is worth around $400,000 and yields about $3,000 in monthly rental income.</p>

<p>On February 1, Jean enters into a contract to acquire Paisley Park, a fully occupied rental property, for $400,000. Closing is scheduled for April 1. Jean coordinates with her QI to structure this acquisition as the replacement property for a reverse exchange. Accordingly, with the QI’s aid, she forms a new LLC – Paisley Park LLC – to take title to Paisley Park. Formation of the LLC cost her about $500 including the legal fees, and the QI’s related exchange accommodation titleholder (“EAT”) was listed as the sole member of the entity. On April 1, Paisley Park LLC acquires Paisley Park, which is generating approximately $3,000 per month. Allowing the EAT to take title on her behalf, she is not considered to have acquired it herself but has taken it off the market and preserved her ability to use it as her replacement property once the relinquished property is sold.</p>

<p>Jean enlists the aid of her friendly real estate agent and begins marketing the sale of Solsbury Hill. Jean and her real estate agent successfully negotiate the sale of Solsbury Hill, and on June 1 she enters into a contract to sell the property for $400,000, with closing scheduled for August 1. As a result of some financing related delays, Jean’s buyer is finally able to complete the acquisition of Solsbury Hill on August 31. This is closed as the first leg of a routine forward exchange using the QI. Once closed, Jean is ready to <a href="https://www.accruit.com/blog/case-study-forward-exchange-real-estate">f… her exchange</a>.&nbsp;At this time, the EAT transfers membership of Paisley Park LLC to Jean, officially cementing Jean as the owner of Paisley Park. From the time Jean acquired Paisley Park until she disposed of Solsbury Hill was five calendar months. During this time, she had combined cash flow on the two properties of $30,000. She did have to pay $500 for the formation of the LLC, and her exchange fees were about $4,000, so she had net income of $25,500 during the same time when Jeremy had net losses of $16,000 – a difference of over $41,000.</p>

<h2>The Bottom Line</h2>

<p>For exchangers who have the financial capacity to do so, structuring transactions as reverse exchanges is an option that is often overlooked. Among other things, it takes away the pressure of having to narrow down choices of possible replacement property within 45 days of a sale of the original property. Consulting with a QI, as well as tax and legal advisors before embarking on the sale of investment real estate is highly recommended. The skilled and experienced team at Accruit can help structure forward and reverse exchanges, and even non-safe harbor reverse exchanges that may take longer than 180 days to complete.</p>
