Your 1031 timeline matters
In a typical delayed 1031 exchange, timing is critical
Identify potential replacement property after the sale of your relinquished property.
Complete the purchase of qualifying replacement property.
A Qualified Intermediary is typically arranged before the sale closes so you do not take control of the proceeds.
Don't leave it too late
The mistake many property owners make
Most owners wait until after closing to think seriously about their exchange — and by then, the best options may be off the table. Here's what that costs:
Not enough time
Waiting until after closing leaves too little runway to identify the right replacement property.
Too many options, no guide
Direct real estate, DSTs, TICs, NNN — hard to weigh alone under a deadline.
Missed deadlines
The 45- and 180-day clocks are strict. Miss them and the whole gain can become taxable.
Poor coordination
Advisor, QI, CPA, attorney, and broker all have to move together — or the exchange stalls.
Rushed decisions
Time pressure forces choices you might regret instead of the option that truly fits.
A 1031 exchange isn't just a tax idea.
It's a timed transaction that needs coordination — start early and keep every option open.

Considering passive 1031 replacement options?
Many property owners use a 1031 exchange because they want to keep real estate exposure but reduce active management.
A Delaware Statutory Trust may be one option for some investors. DSTs can provide fractional ownership in professionally managed real estate, but they also involve risks, fees, illiquidity, sponsor risk, financing risk, and suitability considerations.
A specialist can help you understand whether DSTs should be considered alongside direct real estate or other options.

Frequently asked questions
What is a 1031 exchange?+
A 1031 exchange is a tax-deferral strategy that may allow an owner of investment or business real estate to sell one property and reinvest into qualifying replacement real property while deferring recognition of capital gains tax.
How many days do I have?+
In a typical delayed exchange, you generally have 45 days to identify replacement property and 180 days to complete the exchange.
Can I use a 1031 exchange for my primary home?+
A primary residence generally does not qualify as 1031 exchange property. The property usually must be held for investment or business use.
What is a Qualified Intermediary?+
A Qualified Intermediary helps facilitate the exchange and generally holds the proceeds from the sale so the taxpayer does not take direct control of the funds.
What if I already sold my property?+
Your options depend on when the sale closed, whether a QI was involved, and whether you took control of the proceeds. Speak with a qualified professional immediately.
Can I exchange into a DST?+
Some DST interests may be structured to qualify as replacement property for 1031 purposes, but DSTs are not suitable for everyone and involve investment risks. You should review them with qualified tax, legal, and investment professionals.
Will I get tax advice here?+
No. This website provides general education and may connect you with professionals. It does not provide tax, legal, or investment advice.
