Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy a gas station as a 1031 replacement property?

Yes, if the real estate is part of the transaction and the structure fits your exchanger’s requirements. Always confirm with your qualified intermediary and tax advisor.

What are the key 1031 deadlines?

Most exchanges involve a 45‑day identification window and 180‑day closing window. Time sensitivity is why criteria clarity matters.

Do you help identify multiple backup properties?

Yes. We can build a shortlist of primary + backup options that fit your target profile and timeline.

What should I avoid in a 1031 for this asset class?

Delays caused by environmental issues, unclear leases, or weak financial support. We prioritize deals that are executable under time pressure.

Can a leasehold count for 1031?

Usually no—1031 generally applies to real property interests. Ask your QI for deal-structure specifics.

How do you coordinate with my QI and closing team?

We provide deal details early, keep deadlines visible, and help keep communications tight between brokers, title, lender, and QI.

Common questions

Can a gas station qualify for a 1031 exchange?

Real estate generally can, but business value and personal property are treated differently. Structure matters—coordinate early with a QI and CPA.

How do you handle timing risk?

We focus on executable deals, fast diligence, and clear timelines so you can meet identification and closing deadlines.

Do you help find replacement properties?

Yes. We run a criteria-based search and surface both marketed and confidential opportunities when available.

Will sellers accept 1031 timing?

Many will, if the buyer is qualified and the process is well-managed. We set expectations upfront.

What’s the biggest mistake?

Waiting too long to line up the search and diligence team. Start before the first closing if possible.
