1031 CORP. Celebrates 25 Years  of Service
Collegeville, PA.,
August 31, 2016
-This year, 1031 CORP. marks the 25th anniversary of offering our clients superior service in the 1031 Exchange industry. Founded in 1991, 1031 CORP. was created to fill a need for Qualified Intermediaries (QI) created by U.S. Treasury regulations released that same year. A QI is an independent party that facilitates tax-deferred exchanges of business use or investment assets under Internal Revenue Code section 1031.
Over the last quarter century, under the leadership of Margo McDonnell, CES®, President, 1031 CORP. has developed a niche for keeping the exchange process simple for our clients and their advisors and a strong commitment to educate investors, business owners and their professional advisors on the benefits of section 1031. Their "1031 Exchanges Made Easy" presentation has been presented monthly in seminars and now via webinars since 1995. Each year, the company presents dozens of 1031 seminars, workshops and continuing education classes as well as their "Wealth Building Webinar Series" designed to help participants build and preserve wealth.

 Dealer Property or Investment Property?
The Answer
Could Cost You
Everyone who purchases real estate considers it an investment and typically considers its potential resale value before acquiring it. However, IRS has different views of what qualifies as an investment property. Property held as stock in trade or primarily for sale is excluded from tax deferral treatment under section 1031. This would include a builder's inventory of lots and spec homes as well as properties acquired with the intention of "flipping" them. Additionally, these types of property are not considered capital assets and their sale are taxed as ordinary income not capital gains.
When explaining this issue to property owners, we are often asked how to make these properties qualify or if holding them longer will make a difference. When it comes to 1031 exchanges, much more important than the length of time a property is held is the intention of the owner. What picture has been painted to IRS regarding your use of the property? Everything from the type of mortgage used to finance the property, the types of improvements made, correspondences with your professional advisors, the insurance coverage on the property and whether or not the property was rented all help demonstrate your intention to either hold the property for investment or hold the property for sale.

Trending this Month...
LLCs, Everywhere an LLC
In a 1031 exchange, there is a same taxpayer requirement that the relinquished property and the replacement property must have the same owner. One exception is a disregarded entity such as a single member limited liability company (LLC) when its sole member is the same taxpayer that sold the relinquished property. This month saw many Exchangers creating new LLCs to acquire the replacement property for a variety of different reasons. To learn more about using single member LLCs in a 1031,
