companies potentially may not issue their funds for the new transaction<br />

because the title is different. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not allow for<br />

“Entity Vesting,” consequently, exchange companies will not release the<br />

funds. The 1031 exchanging industry is not regulated nor has any governing<br />

party dictating how they do business. Their job is to try to facilitate the<br />

transaction in accordance with the 1031 exchange laws.<br />

Avoiding the “Boot”<br />

There are two types of tax boots to avoid when doing a 1031 tax<br />

exchange “Mortgage Boot and Cash Boot.” The main purpose of 1031<br />

exchanges is to allow investors to grow their portfolios without paying any<br />

capital gains. So the rules are very clear.<br />

Cash Boot<br />

The total purchase price of the<br />

replacement "like-kind" property must be<br />

equal to, or greater than the total net<br />

sales price of the relinquished, real<br />

estate, property. All of the equity<br />

received from the sale of the<br />

relinquished real estate property must<br />

be used to acquire the replacement,<br />

"like kind" property.<br />

1. Example: Sold one property<br />

for $200,000 and purchased three properties at $75,000 each which equals to<br />

a total of a $250,000 purchase price. Because the combined sales prices for<br />

all three properties are above the sell property of $200,000, there is no capital<br />

gains tax.<br />

2. Example: Sold one property for $200,000 and purchased two<br />

properties at $90,000 each which equals a total of $190,000 purchase price.<br />

Because the combined sales price for both properties was lower than what<br />

the sell property was sold for $10,000 less, there would be a capital gains tax<br />

on the $10,000.<br />
