There are single ownership, partnerships, and LLC arrangements. Then, there are multiple-ownership set-ups, like joint ventures or tenants-in-common (TIC).  When executing a 1031 exchange involving multiple owners, the general set-up involves a TIC. A [TIC 1031 exchange can help](https://www.realized1031.com/blog/can-tenants-in-common-do-a-1031-exchange) more than one owner/investor potentially defer capital gains and depreciation recapture taxes from selling real estate assets. This arrangement can be helpful for investors who no longer want to deal with hands-on management of their real estate properties.  ### A Brief TIC Definition  A TIC [is a legal ownership structure](https://www.realized1031.com/tenants-in-common-tic) in which multiple investors co-own undivided interests in real estate. Each tenant has a specific, fractional ownership interest in the property.   There are [a few things to understand](https://www.realized1031.com/glossary/tenants-in-common-tic) about a tenants-in-common relationship:  - Each tenant holds a share of the property, which can be of unequal size.  - During the tenant’s lifetime – and after their death – shares can be freely transferred to beneficiaries who aren’t the other TIC owners.  - TIC owners can sell or mortgage their shares without input or approval from other TIC owners.   Investors might enter into a TIC arrangement for various reasons. [These can include](https://www.realized1031.com/blog/benefits-of-1031-dst-and-tic-1031-property-investments) diversification, lower minimum investments, financing access, and an ability to invest in properties they might otherwise not be able to afford.  Through a TIC 1031 exchange, anywhere from two to 35 investors join forces and contribute their relinquished properties to acquire – and eventually own – a replacement property/properties of equal or greater value using the like-kind exchange process. The [IRS Revenue Procedure 2002-22](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rp-02-22.pdf) allows a fractional ownership agreement – like a TIC – as a replacement property for a 1031 exchange.  ### Executing a TIC 1031 Exchange  TICs embarking on a 1031 exchange must follow the same requirements as any other entity. Specifically, those involved must observe the IRS’ stringent calendar deadlines and use a Qualified Intermediary in finding and closing that replacement property. Furthermore, that replacement property must be of greater or equal value to the TIC’s combined resources.   Investors who are part of a TIC must also follow specific IRS guidelines for a successful 1031 exchange, [including the following](https://www.realized1031.com/tenants-in-common-tic):   - The number of TIC owners is capped.  - Co-owners involved with the arrangement must own their shares for at least six months before selling their interests.  - Any decisions involving material impact on the property, or its owners must be approved unanimously by all TIC members.  - Co-owners are responsible for costs related to debt servicing and other expenses based on their share percentages.  ### The TIC 1031 Takeaway  There can be some positives involved with the TIC 1031 exchange. But, due diligence of the targeted replacement property/properties and other co-owners is essential before starting this path. Investors interested in becoming involved with a TIC-like-kind exchange should be sure to talk with their legal and tax experts before and during the process.    *This material is for general information and educational purposes only.
