Understanding Debt in a Like-Kind Exchange

Investors will typically find themselves being advised by legal counsel, tax advisors and Qualified Intermediaries to acquire new debt on their like-kind replacement property once they have paid off at the closing of their relinquished property; however, this is not required. In reality, the net sales value of the relinquished property sold by the investor must be replaced by like-kind replacement properties equal to or greater in net purchase value; in addition, cash proceeds from the sale of the Investor’s relinquished property must be reinvested.

Debt does not need to be replaced; however, the difference between the net purchase price and the reinvested equity will have to be met with new debt or additional invested monies. If the Investor refinances the investment property and pulls cash out with new debt additional cast investments can be withdrawn without creating a taxable event; otherwise, they become trapped in the investment property. All income tax liabilities will be able to be deferred if the Investor reinvests all of the net cash profit and the value of the exchange equal to or up.
