Frequently Asked Questions
What mixed use properties qualify for 1031 exchange replacement in Columbus, OH?
Mixed use properties in Columbus, OH and nationwide qualify for 1031 exchange replacement if they are held for investment and meet like-kind requirements. This includes properties with both residential rental units and commercial space, such as ground-floor retail with residential above, or mixed residential and office buildings. The property must be real property held for investment purposes, and both the relinquished and replacement properties must meet like-kind standards. The residential and commercial components must both be held for investment to qualify.
How do identification rules apply to mixed use property exchanges in Columbus, OH?
Identification rules for mixed use property exchanges in Columbus, OH follow the same three-property rule, 200 percent rule, or 95 percent rule as other 1031 exchanges. Investors must identify replacement properties within 45 days and close within 180 days. Mixed use properties are evaluated as a whole for like-kind purposes, but income allocation between residential and commercial components may be relevant for valuation and due diligence purposes.
What is boot and how does it affect mixed use property exchanges in Columbus, OH?
Boot in mixed use property exchanges in Columbus, OH occurs when cash is received, when replacement property debt is less than relinquished property debt, or when personal property is included in the transaction. We analyze each transaction to identify potential boot exposure and help structure the exchange to minimize taxable boot while maintaining compliance with IRS regulations for mixed use real estate.
What due diligence is required for mixed use replacement properties in Columbus, OH?
Due diligence for mixed use replacement properties in Columbus, OH should include income verification for both residential and commercial components, rent roll analysis for residential units, lease review for commercial tenants, property condition assessment, zoning compliance verification, and market comparables analysis. We coordinate these reviews within exchange timelines to ensure comprehensive property evaluation.
Can I exchange a purely commercial property for a mixed use property in Columbus, OH?
Yes, purely commercial properties can be exchanged for mixed use properties in Columbus, OH as long as both properties are held for investment and meet like-kind requirements. The exchange defers capital gains tax on the transaction, allowing investors to diversify property types while maintaining tax benefits. The mixed use property must be held for investment purposes, not personal use.
How are income and expenses allocated for mixed use replacement properties in Columbus, OH?
Income and expenses for mixed use replacement properties in Columbus, OH are typically allocated between residential and commercial components based on square footage, income contribution, or other reasonable methods.
