Delayed Exchanges

Delayed Exchanges

Sell First, Buy Later

As its name implies, a Delayed Exchange is when you choose to delay purchasing a new property until after you’ve sold your current property. You then have 45 days to find a new replacement property.

Reverse Exchanges

Buy First, Sell Later

In a Reverse Exchange, you are able to buy property first before relinquishing your current property. This is a great option if you find an ideal investment property and don’t want to risk losing it while you wait for your current property to sell.

Reverse Exchanges
Improvement Exchanges

Improvement Exchanges

Improve Property Purchased

Improvement Exchanges are a great choice if you can’t find the kind of replacement property you’re looking for. It gives you 180 days to renovate or build a property so you can make improvements and still defer taxes.

Blended Exchanges

Combination of Any Exchange Type

In a Blended Exchange, you are able to mix any of the 3 other types of exchanges (delayed, reverse and improvement), giving you even greater flexibility. This is especially helpful when more than two properties are involved in your Exchange.
