#1

They fail to get “re- p l a c ement ” deb t . All Exchangers un-

a duplex they have to buy a duplex. Not true! This is the best news! In exchanges of real property, all real property is considered “like-kind” with all other real property. #3 They move into the re- placement property right after the exchange. Patience, please! After consulting with a tax advi- sor, most Exchangers will un- derstand that building a rental history (one to two years?) is a safer way to proceed. #4 They don’t talk to their tax/legal advisor. I know, I know. They cost money. Con- sultation with the tax and legal advisors is essential in deciding whether an exchange is necessary or appropriate. #5 They call the exchange by investment specialist Scott Plasky of the firms’ Manhattan office, and secured the listing to market the property. Taub rep- resented and secured the buyer, a limited liability company. “This transaction is a prime example of the Marcus & Mil- lichap platform working as

company after closing their sale. Too late. Much too late. The IRS requirement is for the exchange intent to be docu- mented at the time of closing. #6 They miss a deadline. These deadlines are carved in stone. This is the hardest part of tax-deferred exchanges. If the Exchanger is unable to identify the replacement property within the 45-day identification period or unable to close the purchase of replacement property within the 180-day exchange period, the exchange fails and they must pay their capital gain tax.

Exchangers know they also have to “reinvest” their debt. For example, if they sell a property and pay off a mortgage of $75,000, they must acquire replacement property also en- cumbered by a mortgage of at least $75,000. #2 They think if they sell BELLEVILLE, NJ — Mar- cus & Millichap announced the sale of a 15-unit apartment building located in Belleville, for $1.65 million. Kevin Taub , investment spe- cialists in Marcus & Millichap’s NJ office capitalized on an in- troduction to the owners, made
