When conducting a 1031 exchange, it is crucial that sellers do not take receipt of proceeds from the sale of their relinquished property. Instead, the IRS requires funds to be held by a qualified intermediary, also known as a 1031 exchange accommodator.
A qualified intermediary is an independent entity that functions much like an escrow agent and performs three tasks:
As exchange accommodation is a largely unregulated industry, it is critical that investors choose a reputable Qualified Intermediary. Among other safeguards, important measures include utilizing segregated FDIC-insured bank accounts and carrying proper insurance to protect funds should accommodator error result in a failed exchange.
Investment Property Wealth Management® is built on making informed decisions to help protect and grow your wealth. A knowledgeable Qualified Intermediary is an essential member of your 1031 exchange team which may allow investors to focus more on potential solutions without having to worry about exchange logistics and technicalities.

Investing in alternative assets involves higher risks than traditional investments and is suitable only for sophisticated investors. Alternative investments are often sold by prospectus that discloses all risks, fees, and expenses. They are not tax efficient and an investor should consult with his/her tax advisor prior to investing. Alternative investments have higher fees than traditional investments and they may also be highly leveraged and engage in speculative investment techniques, which can magnify the potential for investment loss or gain and should not be deemed a complete investment program. The value of the investment may fall as well as rise and investors may get back less than they invested.
