Asset focus
Challenges
- Homeowners sometimes assume a 1031 exchange is available for a straightforward home sale, when the home sale exclusion is the applicable rule instead
- Renting a home for a short period before selling does not automatically make the entire gain eligible for a 1031 exchange
- Failing to track the years of qualifying use can lead to confusion about exclusion eligibility
What we deliver
- A plain language explanation of which set of rules applies to your specific home sale
- A timeline review of your ownership and use history relevant to the Section 121 exclusion
- A referral path to a 1031 exchange conversation if your property has a genuine investment use component
