💡 Expert Insight: The “Weekend Rule”

Understanding the 1031 Exchange Rules
A 1031 Exchange, named after Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, allows real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of a property if they reinvest the proceeds into a “like-kind” property. To successfully complete this exchange, adhering to strict timelines is critical.
Key Deadlines to Remember:
- The 45-Day Rule: You have exactly 45 calendar days from the closing date of your sold property to formally identify potential replacement properties in writing to your Qualified Intermediary (QI).
- The 180-Day Rule: You must close on the purchase of the replacement property within 180 calendar days from the sale of your original property.
