An Exceptional Exchange Experience, Made Easy.
June 2024
Reverse Exchanges Remain Popular
Alleviating Stress and Maximizing Opportunities
The real estate market remains very competitive, and the short 45-Day Identification Period creates anxiety for investors contemplating a 1031 exchange. No one wants to sell their old property without being certain you can replace it with something better. In the last year, 1031 CORP. has seen countless transactions fall apart while the Exchanger is waiting to close on their relinquished property. These are scenarios our Exchange Team discuss with Exchangers daily. 

The tight real estate market of the last four years has led to more investors opting to eliminate the stress of the 45-Day Identification Requirement by utilizing a reverse exchange. These savvy investors are taking their time to find their perfect replacement property before putting their old property on the market. A reverse exchange takes the pressure off and eliminates the timeclock.

In what situations should an Exchanger consider a reverse exchange? 

GR: Reverse exchanges are most useful when you need to close on new property before you’ve sold the old property. Sometimes clients want to do a reverse when they are nervous about the timeline or have found the perfect replacement property that they can’t pass up. 

Are there cases where reverse exchanges don’t work? 

LM: It’s a great tool, but it’s not always the best strategy. Last week, I had a client who put an offer on a replacement property that was contingent on selling their relinquished property. They were nervous that the structure wouldn’t work. But they have plenty of time and a flexible seller, so they can negotiate the terms that accommodate their sale. We recommended a traditional 1031, a forward exchange. 

What are the unique benefits of a reverse exchange?
 
LM: Reverse exchanges are great if you have the perfect property in your pocket—you don’t have to worry that you’ll miss out. We see this with commercial clients, in particular. These properties are often specialized—a big box store, an oil change building, a restaurant in a particular location. These replacement properties are often found first and need to be acquired when the opportunity comes up. Timing is important for them. A reverse exchange can make these exchanges work where a traditional, forward exchange might not work. 
 
Can you give an example of a successful reverse exchange? 
 
GR: A recent exchange had been set up as a traditional 1031—as a forward exchange. The sale and purchase had been scheduled to close within a week of each other. The relinquished property sale fell through. In a forward exchange, this would have doomed the exchange. But we saved the exchange by converting it to a reverse exchange. They acquired the replacement property and then had time to find a new buyer and met the exchange deadlines.
