Too many professionals get caught up in the belief that
Section 1031 is only about deferring capital gains. While it is one of the remaining tax deferral tools available, it’s actually a LOT about leverage. Clients using what they would have paid immediately in capital gains taxes to improve the quality and value of their holdings and plan for their financial future; is REALLY what Section 1031 is all about. Section 1031 has been a part of the Internal Revenue Service Code since 1921! Look at it as a gift from Uncle Sam, but don’t tell anyone. Ok, let’s do the math. These numbers suggest that investors paid the Government over $10B in capital gains taxes when in fact, they could have used this money in their own portfolios, interest free, for as long as they would like. Wait a minute… Why is this so? We have found that many professionals that we deal with on a day‐to‐day basis are unclear of the many strategic uses of Section 1031. Unfortunately, there are still many that don’t even know of its existence, and fail to recognize even its most basic uses. Don’t let your clients find out you didn’t tell them they could have used this powerful tool. As real estate professionals, you have a certain responsibility to your clients regarding the tax ramifications of their transactions. Holders of investment real estate should be made aware of the tools that are available to help them strengthen their real estate portfolios. Section 1031 is one of the more powerful tools. We hear over and over again from real estate professionals how thankful their clients were that they understood Section 1031 and helped them to explore the possibilities. Indeed, many of our real estate partners have saved their clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in capital gain expense, giving them more money to invest, while earning multiple commissions in the process! © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc.

In 1981, Mr. George Foss, III, our founder and co‐principal was a prominent real estate
broker in Northern New Hampshire. After reading about the concept of a Section 1031 Exchange, he was immediately intrigued, and saw the opportunity to add an interesting twist to his real estate deals by helping clients to take advantage of this virtually unknown gift from Uncle Sam. 27 years and thousands of successful exchanges later, George Edmund & Wheeler remains the foremost authorities on Section 1031 in the New England states, and have completed exchanges with clients in 48 of 50 states. The firm has provided Section 1031 education and consulting to hundreds of New England real estate professionals and has helped them to save their clients over $100 Million in capital gains taxes.

This course has been designed to assist you in
becoming proficient in the basics of a Section 1031 Exchange. An Exchange can be a very complex and time consuming endeavor. Your QI will understand all of the mechanics and the myriad of rules and regulations surrounding an Exchange. Our goal for this session is to provide you the knowledge and tools you will require to assist your clients in recognizing the tremendous opportunities that Section 1031 provides. Section 1031 is not just a tax deferral vehicle. It is a powerful part of your client’s overall investment strategy, their exit strategy from a business, and an integral part of their estate planning. Bottom line is that the taxes that are deferred can be used to leverage larger investments, diversify portfolios and substantially increase wealth over a period of time. Don’t worry, we won’t grade you. We want to take an inventory of what our students know about Section 1031 prior to the course. When the course is over, we will re‐take the quiz, and you will see how far you’ve come in just a short time. Good Luck! © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. All rights reserved.

Section 1031 fundamentally is about the relocation and
reallocation of your client’s real estate assets, all without paying capital gains taxes. Relocation could be across the street, or across the nation. Clients can relocate their holdings to several markets, creating geographical diversity. They can also reallocate holdings by combining multiple holdings into one more valuable property. They can sell apartment buildings and Exchange for single‐ family housing units, or they can opt for one of the passive real estate investments available to them and leave the day‐to‐day management of real estate to a professional property management team. Section 1031 exchanges are reported on your tax return by using Schedule 8824. It is important that all of the documentation leading up to and throughout the exchange is explicit that an exchange is taking place and not an ordinary sale. The taxpayer cannot touch the funds or it will trigger the tax. The Relinquished Property and the Replacement property must be investment/business use property in the taxpayer’s hands. All exchanges must be concluded with 180 days. An exchange is handled in the same manner as a regular sale with the exception that a third party Qualified Intermediary (QI) provides the documentation and handles all funds. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc.

property be identified and that exchange be completed not more than 180 days after transfer of exchanged property For purposes of this subsection, any property received by the taxpayer shall be treated as property which is not like-kind property if— (A) such property is not identified as property to be received in the exchange on or before the day which is 45 days after the date on which the taxpayer transfers the property relinquished in the exchange, or (B) such property is received after the earlier of— (i) the day which is 180 days after the date on which the taxpayer transfers the property relinquished in the exchange, or (ii) the due date (determined with regard to extension) for the transferor’s return of the tax imposed by this chapter for the taxable year in which the transfer of the relinquished property occurs. (b) Gain from exchanges not solely in kind If an exchange would be within the provisions of subsection (a), of section 1035(a), of section 1036(a), or of section 1037(a), if it were not for the fact that the property received in exchange consists not only of property permitted by such provisions to be received without the recognition of gain, but also of other property or money, then the gain, if any, to the recipient shall be recognized, but in an amount not in excess of the sum of such money and the fair market value of such other property. (c) Loss from exchanges not solely in kind If an exchange would be within the provisions of subsection (a), of section 1035(a), of section 1036(a), or of section 1037(a), if it were not for the fact that the property received in exchange consists not only of property permitted by such provisions to be received without the recognition of gain or loss, but also of other property or money, then no loss from the exchange shall be recognized. (d) Basis If property was acquired on an exchange described in this section, section 1035 (a), section 1036(a), or section 1037 (a), then the basis shall be the same as that of the property exchanged, decreased in the amount of any money received by the taxpayer and increased in the amount of gain or decreased in the amount of loss to the taxpayer that was recognized on such exchange. If the property so acquired consisted in part of the type of property permitted by this section, section 1035 (a), section 1036(a), or section 1037 (a), to be received without the recognition of gain or loss, and in part of other property, the basis provided in this subsection shall be allocated between the properties (other than money) received, and for the purpose of the allocation there shall be assigned to such other property an amount equivalent to its fair market value at the date of the exchange. For purposes of this section, section 1035 (a), and section 1036 (a), where as part of the consideration to the taxpayer another party to the exchange assumed (as determined under section 357 (d)) a liability of the taxpayer, such assumption shall be considered as money received by the taxpayer on the exchange.

It’s important to understand the difference
between investment property and property “held for sale.” Property that is held for sale is technically inventory in the hands of the taxpayer and is therefore not eligible for Section 1031 treatment. Section 1031 Exchanges can be used as a strategy to achieve tax deferral while changing the location and the type of property held. As a tax‐planning tool, it will achieve greater net equity over time and increased cash flow. The Exchange Agreement created by the Qualified Intermediary will give the QI legal standing by way of assignment in both the old property and the new property. From the Exchangors perspective, a sale does not occur, but rather an exchange of properties. Both must be used by the taxpayer for investment or productive use and remember that all real property is like‐kind to all other real property. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc.

There are three separate rules for identifying Replacement property. The most common
rule is termed the “3 Property Rule.” It doesn’t matter how many properties were sold in an exchange, it is the value that is being matched. Identifying three properties within the 45‐day deadline will be challenging. Even if you eventually only select one property, it’s a good policy to identify more than one so a backup property is available if the first choice becomes unattainable. The 200% Rule is available to taxpayers who want to identify and/or acquire more than three properties. The limitation in using the 200% Rule is that the total value of what is identified cannot exceed twice the value (or 200%) of the Relinquished Property. This rule works well for larger dollar transactions when the taxpayer wants to diversify the investment into multiple properties. The 95% Rule is the most perilous choice. It will allow the taxpayer to ignore the value and the number of choices with the requirement that once the properties are identified, the taxpayer MUST acquire 95% of them. In nearly 30 years of practice this rule has been used by a client in only one instance. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. All rights reserved.

The point to remember is that it does not matter the type of real estate that the
taxpayer owns, it is how the property is used in their hands. It must be for investment, commercial or business use. A single‐family residence is like kind to every other kind of real property as long as the single‐family residence is NOT personal use property.

When Section 1031 was first codified in 1921, it was for the benefit of farmers who
objected to paying capital gains tax on their farm property, both real and personal. Certain items of personal property are exchangeable as long as they fall into the same asset class or product code. All aircraft is like‐kind to all other aircraft for instance, but is not like kind to other items of machinery. The North American Industry Classification System for Sectors 31‐33 is the best sources for determining like kind for personal property. www.census.gov/naics (for a complete description of the allowable categories) © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc.

The Exchange will begin on the day the deed is
conveyed to the purchaser. The 45 day and 180 day clock will begin. Contracts for sale and purchase do not trigger the beginning on an exchange, it always happens on the day of the first leg of the transaction. This is also true for reverse exchanges. Only Presidentially declared disasters would provide for extension of these time sensitive dates. The first step is to engage the Qualified Intermediary to create a written Exchange Agreement. The QI is required to have standing in the exchange and this will be accomplished with an assignment of the contracts. Specific guidance will be provided to the Settlement Agent and the funds will be directed to the QI for the acquisition of the new property. Most importantly, the QI will provide guidance to the taxpayer to avoid the pitfalls. Transactions with related parties are prohibited unless certain rules are followed. Exchanges can be conducted regardless of whether the taxpayer is an individual or some form of other entity. It is important to remember that the same taxpayer must sell and then buy. The IRS is tracking the taxpayer identification number. Single member LLC’s and revocable trusts will be disregarded for tax purposes. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. All rights reserved.

DOES YOUR SITUATION
QUALIFY FOR A SECTION 1031 EXCHANGE This tool has been developed to help you quickly identify Section 1031 opportunities? www.section1031.com/PDFs/New PDFs/WhatQualifies.htm Plans for the Money The greatest benefit from capital gains deferral will be obtained by reinvesting all of the cash from the sale of your property. It is possible to extract cash at closing; however, the amount you take will be subject to tax. Amount Invested How did you acquire the property and how long have you owned it? Did you purchase it, did you exchange into it, was it given to you or did you inherit it? The answers to these and other questions will determine whether you have a low or high cost basis, and what your exposure is to Capital Gains Taxe. If the gain exceeds $20,000 then an Exchange should be considered. Mortgage Balance The outstanding mortgage debt is paid off at closing in the same manner as any other closing; and debt paid off must be replaced when the new property is acquired or new cash added to offset any difference. Any debt relief not offset by new cash will result in taxable boot. On Last Two Tax Returns or Vacant Land Your tax return provides the IRS with an audit trail of your past activity. Your rental property must have appeared on Schedule “E” of your return (or the corporate equivalent) if you want to portray your property as held for investment or for use in your Trade or Business. The only exception will be vacant land. How Long Owned Dealers are not permitted to use Section 1031; generally their assets are “held for sale”, not “held for investment”. In order for a property to be considered for long-term capital gain treatment, it must have been owned by you for at least one year. Type of Replacement Property Section 1031 requires that the property be “like-kind”; all real property is like-kind to all other real property. The Like-kind test is more stringent for personal property. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. All rights reserved.

Choices of Replacement
Property Under the simple rules, you may select up to three potential new properties and you can buy any one, two or all three of them. More choices are available, however, the dollar value of the choices is capped at 200% of the value of the old property. Can Meet 45 Day Requirement After the closing of the old or Relinquished Property, you will have 45 days to make your formal identification of Replacement Property choices. No substitutions are permitted after the 45th day. Can Meet 180 Day Requirement After the closing of the old or Relinquished Property, you will have 180 days to acquire the new or Replacement Property. Exchanges must be accounted for within the same tax year; often it is necessary to extend the due date of the tax return to accomplish this task and to get the full benefit of 180 days for a year-end exchange. Third Party Handling of Money Receipt of funds by the taxpayer at closing is not permitted in a Section 1031 Exchange. A Qualified Intermediary must be designated to facilitate this process so that the taxpayer never has constructive receipt of the funds. Relatives and attorneys or accountants that have represented the taxpayer in the last two years are prohibited from acting as the Qualified Intermediary. Have qualification questions?

The Five Most
Common Section 1031 Misconceptions Well before delayed exchanges were codified (by IRS) in 1991, all simultaneous exchange transactions of Real Estate required the actual swapping of deeds plus the simultaneous closing among all parties to a 1031 exchange. In most cases these types of exchanges were comprised of many of exchanging parties, as well as numerous exchange real estate properties. Now today, there's no such requirement to swap your own property with someone else's property, in order to complete an IRS approved exchange. The rules have been refined and ratified to the point that the current process is much more indicative of your qualifying intent, rather than the logistics of the Real Estate property closings There was a time when all types of exchanges had to be closed on a simultaneous (same day) basis, now they (1031) are rarely completed in this type of format. As a matter of fact, a majority of the exchanges executed are closed now as delayed exchanges. Don’t make this mistake. There is a common misconception that “Like‐Kind” is literal. There are currently 2 types of properties that qualify as a 'like‐kind': Property held for investment and/or Property held for a productive use, as in a trade or business. This statement is a perfect example of another 1031 exchanging myth. Let me repeat, there are no provisions within either the IRS Code or the US Treasury Regulations that can restrict the amount and number of real estate properties that can be involved in an exchange. Thus, in exchanging out of several properties into one replacement property or the vice versa of selling of one property and acquiring several other properties, are perfectly acceptable strategies and uses of a 1031. You can take cash out of a Section 1031 Exchange; however, the cash that you take out will be immediately taxable. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. All rights reserved.

These two Property Owners have identically valued
properties with identical tax consequences, however, one chooses to sell and the other chooses to use The Power of Section 1031, and take an interest‐free loan from the Federal and State Government. These are the assumptions. The Federal Tax is 15% and the State Tax is 5%, but past depreciation these taxpayers have taken will be recaptured at the rate of 25%. However, the second Property Owner has no intention of funding the tax, as a Section 1031 Exchange is planned. Another assumption is that the values of the Replacement Properties grow at a uniform 6% rate per year, without compounding. After 5, 10 and 15 years we will take a look at each situation. OK, here we go. The two properties both sell for $300,000, but one Property Owner elects to pay the tax ($65,000) while the other elects to accept the interest‐free loan. They both reinvest, but one has $65,000 more than the other, and as a consequence, his investment commands more monthly cash flow. So the effects of the interest‐free loan are immediate: The Property Owner who took the loan earns $325 more per month on his investment than his tax‐paying counterpart. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc.

Now let’s look at the situation 5 years out. Each
owner sells his investment, but again Owner #1 pays the tax while Owner #2 elects to take a further advance on the interest‐free loan. Further, since more principal was invested, the value of the 2nd Owner’s investment is worth almost $100,000 more than the 1st Owner’s. Granted this difference is pre‐ tax, but read on.... At 10 years, the pattern repeats: Owner #1 pays taxes again, but Owner #2 accepts a further advance on the interest‐free loan. This equity is worth $145,664 more than Owner #1, and, as a consequence, it commands $728 more income per month We conclude the example here, but you get the idea: By deferring the tax at the beginning, Owner #2 has made good use of free government money. This investment is now worth $221,044, and consequently commands a monthly income of $3296, more than $1056 more per month than Owner #1's income. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc.

23.
And here is a summary of the wealth
building effects. Owner #2's equity is worth more than $211,044 than Owner #1's, and has grown by 119% (instead of 49.3%) thanks to the use of the tax‐free loan. Further, at this point, let’s pretend that Owner #2 takes leave of his senses and decides to pay the tax instead of exchanging again and again. The total taxes due from Owner #2 at the 15‐year point are $136,810, which leaves this owner $74,234 ahead of Owner #1 on an after‐tax basis. This is the true comparison because, after all, Owner #1 was paying tax all the way through, and Owner #2 was deferring it, by the use of Section 1031. At the 15th year, Owner #2 has received an additional $92,779 in cash flow over Owner #1. Can any sensible investor afford to ignore these two figures?? Even after the last sale, if Owner #2 decides to get out the game and pay his taxes, he is still is over $160,000 ahead of the game! © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. All rights reserved.

Case Studies
Over the many years that Edmund & Wheeler has been facilitating Exchanges, we have discovered that exchanges generally can be described in 5 distinct types. The most common type is Case Study 1 – the Delayed Exchange. We will be reviewing each case study, along with some real‐life examples of how these Exchanges work.

CASE STUDY 1
ABDC Delayed Exchange (Existing Property) Direct Format In this format, the Client (A) gets a Section 1031 Exchange between steps 3 and 7 assuming all of the rules have been followed. This is the most common type of exchange. The Exchange Agreement with Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. which governs the overall transaction. This document MUST be in force before the closing. The Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell the Relinquished Property. This step may take place before Step 1 (the only out- of-sequence exception). The closing of the Relinquished Property; if several are involved, the first in chronological order. In this step, the deed to the property is given to the Buyer. Rather than going to the Exchangor, the Buyer's funds are used to pay all of Exchangor's expenses (including mortgages, if any), with the NET going directly to a money center bank into a separate, interest- bearing account established in the Exchangor's name and Social Security number. This is an interactive step encompassing all communications post-closing with the Exchangor and Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. Included are the 45-day Identification Letter, instructions on how much of the account to be expended on particular properties, and final approval to close on the final choice(s). These are the precise instructions to Exchangor's attorney, bank or Title Company for the closing of the Replacement Property, and the wire transfer of approved funding. This is the Exchangor's receipt of the direct deed from the owner of the Replacement Property (C); the Exchangor achieves a Section 1031 Exchange between Steps 3 and 7, where in Step 3 a deed is given and in Step 7 a deed is received, and in between the Exchangor had no control (or Constructive Receipt) of funds. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc.

This Exchangor sold one large lakefront property and
proceeded to use the next 45 days driving up and down the East Coast selecting Replacement Properties. He was in the enviable position of being able to identify more than three Replacement Properties (the simple rule). He used the 200% rule (to identify as many properties as he wanted as long as the total value of the properties identified did not exceed twice the value of the Relinquished Property). In the end, he acquired sixteen new properties from Maine to Florida, many of them single family (rental) residences, including two new campgrounds. This Exchange allowed him to diversify his portfolio, generate significant cash flow from his new properties, and pay no capital gains tax. As they say in the business "one happy camper!" If he determines that one or more of his selections doesn’t satisfy his investment objectives, then after a year or two, he can exchange again. We are currently working with a client to acquire a significant piece of commercial real estate in New England. The client is in the process of selling six separate pieces of property in order to aggregate sufficient funds to make the new Replacement Property purchase. The client has been extremely careful (with our guidance) to time his sales and the new purchase all within a 180 day time frame. This is key to the success of the Exchange due to the fact that he will acquire not just one piece of property, but rather over a dozen condominiums. You will recall that you have two basic rules when it comes to identifying your Replacement property choices, the Three‐Property Rule and the 200% Rule. This Exchange is an example of yet a third method of identifying Replacement property. It allows the client to acquire an unlimited number of properties, without regard to value or number as long as he acquires 95% (FMV) of what he identified. This can be a little nerve‐racking for the investor and it pays to have a back‐up plan. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. All rights reserved.

Our client exchanged out of a three unit building that had been held for many years. In
preparation for retirement, the client acquired a Florida rental property. After renting the Florida property for two years, our client will convert the use from rental to personal and move into the property as a primary residence. There isn’t any prohibition against converting business/investment property to personal use. Be aware that upon the sale of the property, the client will NOT be entitled to the full Section 121, personal residence exclusion of $250,000/$500,000. Effective January 1, 2009 the number of years of non‐qualified residential use is divided by the total number of years owned to produce a pro‐rated exclusion. For example, if you own a property for 10 years and you rented it for the first two years of ownership and later moved into it and made it your primary residence, then you would only be eligible to exclude 80% of the sale, meaning you would owe gains on 20% of the © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc.

George’s favorite Exchange was an "acquire first,
reverse exchange". Sounds complicated, but it’s not. Our client had negotiated the purchase of a significant new property but had been unable to sell a piece of existing property in time to do the deal. Rather than jeopardize the purchase, we created a single purpose entity (SPE), in this case, a Massachusetts trust, to acquire the new (parked) property. Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. was engaged to create the new entity, hold the property until the old property was sold and the proceeds are available to acquire the "parked" property. The Exchangor funded the purchase with his own and other bank resources. Once the old property was sold, the new property was deeded to the Exchangor. Since it is not permissible to own the old and new property at the same time, this strategy accomplished the Exchangor’s desired outcomes, again without capital gains tax. This is a case where you can benefit your own family without paying capital gains tax. Our client sold a multi‐family rental property that had been owned for many years and rented to college students. The cash flow was OK but there was deferred maintenance that was starting to affect the market price of the property. Our client negotiated a sale on the multi‐family property and engaged us to handle the transaction as a Section 1031 Exchange. The client’s daughter had moved to a suburb of Chicago and wanted to acquire a property that would be a safe secure primary residence and provide her mom with a nice place to visit the grandchildren. A property was identified and the exchange funds were used to acquire the new suburb property. As long as the property remains as rental property in the hands of the client and fair market rent is charged, then this strategy is perfectly acceptable. The property can be gifted off in increments of $12,000 per person, per year. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. All rights reserved.

This is a classic "build‐to‐suit" transaction. Our client sold a commercial property and
directed the proceeds of the sale by virtue of an Exchange Agreement to us as Qualified Intermediary. We created a single purpose entity to conduct the business, in this case a NH corporation. We then purchased, in the name of the new corporation, a piece of raw land (which had been subdivided and permitted) using the exchange proceeds. The client delivered specific instructions for the type of building to be constructed on the site and directed who the contractor would be to perform the work. We made a series of progress payments based on the work in place and the "ok" to pay by the client. Once all of the sale proceeds of the Relinquished Property were exhausted, the new property was deeded to the client and the corporation was closed and tax return filed on its behalf. The entire process was concluded within 180 days. © 2008, 2009 Edmund & Wheeler, Inc. All rights reserved.
