Standard or “Delayed” Exchange
A Delayed Exchange is the most commonly sought and simplest of 1031 structures. In this system, the Exchangor (you) relinquishes the property first, and then later acquires a replacement. Put simpler, your current property will be closed first, and then the wanted property is gained within a short, stipulated delay.
Improvement Exchange
An Improvement Exchange operates much in the same way as a traditional Delayed Exchange, with one major difference: the investor may utilize excess funds in order to improve or update the replacement property before its acquisition. This option allows the investor the opportunity to customize the replacement property, and is another very popular structure type.
Personal Property Exchange
Personal Property Exchange (PPE_=) is simply a lesser known but equally important type of exchange. In this structure personal property that is not real estate is utilized. These properties can vary considerably, including but not limited to tangibles like livestock, art, or aircraft, and also intangibles such as copyrights and business licenses. In a PPE, these assets are exchanged for assets of the same type.
Simultaneous Exchange
These operate, again, quite similarly to a Delayed exchange, except, of course, without the delay. In a Simultaneous Exchange, the relinquished property is closed at the same time as the gained property.
Reverse Exchange
Reverse Exchange allows the investor to acquire and close on the replacement property before the sale of the relinquished property. This is a fairly uncommon structure, and can be somewhat risky without the assistance of a qualified arbiter. It is important to note that the investor cannot under any circumstance hold both properties simultaneously.
