You also get to navigate your real estate transactions with the confidence that comes from partnering with an industry expert who puts your interests at the forefront of every exchange. These are the four 1031 exchange options we offer in Los Angeles:
Delayed Exchange
A delayed exchange is the most common form of a 1031 exchange, providing you with the opportunity to sell your existing property in Los Angeles and purchase a replacement property within 180 days. We help navigate the complexities of this process, ensuring the secure handling of your funds and strict compliance with IRS timelines and regulations.
Simultaneous Exchange
A simultaneous exchange involves the concurrent transfer of your relinquished real property and receipt of the replacement property, all in one seamless transaction. We help sophisticated investors manage the logistics of these time-sensitive transactions, facilitating a smooth and successful exchange while deferring capital gains taxes.
Reverse Exchange
A reverse exchange provides you with the flexibility to acquire a replacement property before selling your relinquished property, addressing unique timing challenges that can occur in real estate transactions. We can serve as your exchange accommodator to temporarily hold the replacement property in keeping with IRS regulations.
Improvement Exchange
An improvement exchange empowers you to use your 1031 funds to improve a replacement property, thereby increasing its value and your potential return on investment. Leverage our experience and expertise in ensuring that your improvements are carried out effectively within the stipulated legal timeline while optimizing your tax advantages.

Steps For Completing A 1031 Exchange in Los Angeles
Make a decision to sell your property to a willing buyer. You must ensure that over the last two years, the property has been put to productive use for investment purposes or business development.
Reach out to Universal Pacific 1031 Exchange to retain our services as your Qualified Intermediary for the transaction. Remember that your exchange cannot qualify for capital gains tax deferral without a QI.
We will review your investment property and do other due diligence to ensure that it qualifies for a 1031 exchange. We will also notify the other party that the transaction is part of a like-kind exchange.
Once everything is in order, Universal Pacific 1031 Exchange will prepare all other necessary documentation for the transaction, which includes the Qualified Escrow Agreement and Instructions to Escrow.
The buyer will vet the documents and pay the agreed sum into the escrow account we set up for you. According to the Internal Revenue Code, an exchanger (you) must not touch the sale proceeds of a 1031 exchange.
After the sale of the old property, you must use any of the IRS identification rules to identify one or more replacement properties within the next 45 days. Send us a written list of identified properties.
If the identified properties meet the IRS requirements, we will transfer the exchange funds from the escrow account to the seller. This must be done within 180 days from the sale of the relinquished property.
The final step is to complete and file other relevant documents. This includes Form 8824, which legally notifies the IRS of the transaction. With this, you’ve completed an IRS-compliant like-kind exchange.
