Can Your Vacation Home Qualify for a 1031 Exchange?

Can a Timeshare Qualify for a 1031 Exchange?

Not all real estate investments are created equal when it comes to 1031 exchanges. Some timeshares may qualify—others won’t. And what about shares in a REIT?

Click below to learn the key differences and what qualifies for tax deferral under IRC §1031.


Can Your Vacation Home Qualify for a 1031 Exchange?

Real estate in resort or vacation destinations can produce diverse and significant tax consequences. These tax consequences can be particularly critical at the time a property is sold, since many vacation destinations have appreciated significantly and property owners may be facing significant capital gain tax consequences upon disposition. The use of a tax deferred exchange under IRC Section 1031 can be particularly important in disposing of such property.

This publication will first address the use of Section 1031 tax deferred exchanges in disposing of vacation properties. It will then consider a number of different scenarios, and the tax consequences of each, both while the property is owned and upon disposition of the property. Last, it concludes with a few words about converting a vacation property into an investment property eligible for Section 1031.

10 Reasons to Exchange and Never Pay Capital Gain Taxes Again

We Love Our Happy Customers

I have completed ten 1031 exchanges over the past several years. I used IPX 1031 (both Nashville, TN and Newport Beach, CA offices). This time I was referred to Asset Preservation by an attorney colleague in TN where I now reside.

Their fees and services match or beat IPX 1031 and the service level of API runs circles around IPX. Cameron Gamble, their exchange coordinator, promptly replies to emails and actually answers his phone when you call his direct line.

I recommend this company to anyone looking for high quality professional exchanger.
