Get a new intermediary, one that will do reverse exchanges. I have used Starker Services before for that. It is slightly more expensive but if you want to do it that way, they can and will do it.
Hi, We have an investment opportunity where we would like to utilize a 1031 exchange. We own rentals in CT and NV. In NV, we have the opportunity to deposit $11K for a new house, to be completed in Sept. '04. We would like to make this deposit now, then sell properties for the exchange (i.e., within six months before the Sept. '04 closing date). My question: if we make the $11K deposit now, does that negate the possibility of a 1031 exchange in Sept. next year (since we “identified” the property before we sold)? Our intermediary absolutely refuses to do “reverse” exchanges, by the way, so that is not a possibility. We have done several 1031’s before here in CT and NV. Thanks very much for all your help! Gary
