1031 Exchange Services in Detroit: what to expect
1031 exchange services in Detroit help investors sell one investment or business property and buy another while deferring federal capital gains tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. In Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, that often means rental houses, small multifamily buildings and commercial property.
According to the IRS, both properties must be held for business or investment, not personal use; you have 45 days after the sale to identify replacement property and must complete the exchange within 180 days (earlier in some cases). Sale proceeds must be held by a qualified intermediary, and you cannot act as your own facilitator.
The title company closes both sides and coordinates with the intermediary. Compare commercial title services and Detroit title companies. Get tax advice from your own tax professional. Rebuild Detroit is not a title agency or law firm, and this is general information, not legal advice.
