In order for a transaction to qualify for tax deferred treatment under Section 1031, certain requirements must be met, including:

A. Qualified Property
Some types of property are specifically disqualified, namely: stock in trade or other property held primarily for sale; securities or evidences of indebtedness or interest; interests in a partnership or multi-member limited liability company; certificates of trust or beneficial interest; and choses in action (i.e. interests in law suits).

B. The Purpose Requirement
Both the relinquished property and the replacement property must be held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment. The taxpayer cannot exchange into or out of the taxpayer’s own primary personal residence, or property held for resale as a dealer.
C. The Like-Kind Requirement
Replacement property acquired in an exchange must be “like-kind” to the property being relinquished. All real property is like-kind: Raw land may be exchanged for land with a building. One property may be exchanged for more than one property. However, personal property, like a primary residence, is not like-kind to real property.

D. The Holding Period
If a replacement property is acquired and then immediately sold, this may indicate that it was acquired for resale and cannot qualify for tax deferred treatment.
