Glossary

A tax-deferred strategy allowing investors to sell a property and reinvest the proceeds in a new property while deferring all capital gains taxes

A depreciation method that allows you to deduct a greater portion of the cost of depreciable property in the first years after the property is placed in service, rather than spreading the cost evenly over the life of the asset, as with the straight-line depreciation method.

The original cost of the property plus any capital improvements or subtracted depreciation, used to calculate capital gains tax liability.

A balanced exchange ensures that the taxpayer defers 100% of his or her taxes on capital gain and depreciation recapture. To achieve a balanced exchange 1) acquire a replacement property that is equal to or greater than the relinquished property; 2) reinvest all of the net equity from the relinquished property in the replacement property; and 3) assume debt on the replacement property that is equal to or greater than the debt on the replacement property or contribute cash to make up the deficiency. (See Partial Tax Deferment; Boot; and Mortgage Boot/Relief.)

An offer to purchase the relinquished property during the exchange process. Accepting such an offer may impact the ability to complete the exchange.

Any form of cash thats recieved without reinvesment. An example is if an investor sells a property for $500,000 and buys a replacement property for $450,000, the $50,000 difference is considered boot.and subject to capital gains tax.

An entity that holds legal title to the replacement property during a reverse exchange, allowing the investor to first acquire the replacement property and then relinquish their current property.

Property that is of the same nature, character, or class as the property being exchanged, regardless of the differences in quality or improvement.

When you assume debt on your replacement property that is less than the debt on your relinquished property, you receive mortgage boot or mortgage relief. The reduction in the mortgage on the replacement property is less than the mortgage on the relinquished property.
