Frequently Asked Questions
What are the identification rules for 1031 exchanges in Baltimore, MD?
The IRS requires written identification of replacement property within 45 calendar days of the relinquished property closing in Baltimore, MD. Investors can identify up to three properties regardless of value, or any number of properties if their combined value does not exceed 200 percent of the relinquished property value, or any number if at least 95 percent of the aggregate identified value is acquired. Each identified property must include a street address or legal description plus purchase price detail.
How does boot calculation affect my property identification in Baltimore, MD?
Boot is any non-like-kind property or cash received in a 1031 exchange that creates taxable gain. In Baltimore, MD, receiving cash, debt relief exceeding replacement property debt, or non-qualifying property triggers boot. We help investors structure property identification to minimize boot by ensuring replacement property value equals or exceeds relinquished property value and replacement debt equals or exceeds relinquished debt.
Can I identify properties outside Baltimore, MD for my 1031 exchange?
Yes, replacement properties can be located anywhere in the United States. While we have strong market knowledge in Baltimore, MD, we identify compliant properties across all 50 states to maximize your options within the 45-day identification window.
What documentation is required for property identification in Baltimore, MD?
Each identified property in Baltimore, MD must include a street address or legal description plus purchase price detail. We prepare identification letters that meet IRS requirements and coordinate with qualified intermediaries to ensure proper documentation. For portfolios or ground leases, we attach supplemental exhibits so there is no ambiguity for the IRS or the intermediary.
How do I coordinate with a Qualified Intermediary for property identification in Baltimore, MD?
We coordinate with qualified intermediaries in Baltimore, MD to ensure document flow and deadline compliance. While we are not a Qualified Intermediary, we help investors connect with QIs and coordinate identification documentation. The identification letter must be delivered to the qualified intermediary or other party to the exchange before midnight on Day 45.
What happens if I miss the 45-day identification deadline in Baltimore, MD?
Missing the 45-day identification deadline in Baltimore, MD disqualifies the exchange and converts the transaction into a taxable sale. Our daily accountability calls, shared dashboards, and escalation protocols are designed to prevent deadline risk before it becomes irreversible.
