The questions here were received from interested 1031 exchangers visiting my website. I have chosen to leave the questions intact with their ambiguity, shorthand writing and misspellings so as not to act on the assumption as to what when unclear the questioner meant.
Failed Exchanges and The Role of the Qualified Intermediary
Question:
Just sold an investment property. Looking to learn more on 1031 program
Answer:
If you did not hire a Qualified Intermediary, and sign the paperwork, and the QI’s paperwork work was at settlement, you have constructive receipt of the proceeds, and you cannot do an exchange. Unfortunately, your first lesson is expensive.
