1031 Exchange
Many clients want to help their adult children buy a first home by selling a rental and completing a 1031 exchange into a property the child will live in. This can work, but it must be structured properly:
You can’t use 1031 funds as a gift or down payment for your child’s primary residence.
If your child lives in the replacement property, they must pay fair market rent. You should treat it like an investment, collect rent, report income and expenses, and depreciate the asset.
If your child co-owns the property, you must retain enough ownership to satisfy 1031 requirements, and they must pay you rent proportional to your ownership share (e.g., 50% ownership = 50% of market rent).
Your investment deserves expertise. Let’s make your next sale a tax-smart one.
