Frequently Asked Questions: 1031 Exchange in Los Angeles
What are the 1031 exchange deadlines?
You must identify replacement properties within 45 days of selling your relinquished property, and close on the replacement within 180 days. These deadlines are strict with no extensions.
Can I exchange into multiple properties?
Yes, you can identify up to three properties regardless of value, or more properties if their combined value doesn't exceed 200% of the relinquished property's value.
What happens to my mortgage?
To fully defer taxes, your replacement property debt should equal or exceed the relinquished property debt. Any reduction in debt or cash received may be taxable.
