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 />
