1031 Exchange Loans FAQ
Can I get a 1031 Exchange Loan in Nebraska?
Yes. 1031 Exchange Loans are available for Nebraska investment properties where state law permits, through our national lender network.
Do I need to live in Nebraska?
No. Investment-property loans are based on the property and the deal, so out-of-state investors can finance Nebraska rentals and flips.
Do I need to replace the debt in a 1031 exchange?
To defer all gain, investors generally buy a property of equal or greater value and replace any debt paid off. A tax advisor should confirm your situation.
What are the 1031 exchange deadlines?
45 days from the sale to identify replacement properties, and 180 days total to close. These are calendar days, including weekends and holidays, with almost no exceptions.
Can I get a loan on the replacement property?
Yes. DSCR, bridge, multifamily and portfolio loans are all common for exchange replacements. Line up financing before your relinquished property sells.
What is a qualified intermediary?
A neutral third party who holds your sale proceeds during the exchange. You cannot touch the money yourself or the exchange is disqualified.
Do I have to buy something more expensive?
To defer all tax, the replacement should be equal or greater in value, and you should replace any debt you paid off. Buying down means some gain becomes taxable (called boot).
Can I 1031 into a property I already own?
No. Related-party rules are strict. The replacement must generally be a new acquisition from an unrelated seller.
What happens if I miss the 45-day deadline?
The exchange fails and the sale becomes fully taxable. This is why investors identify backup properties, not just one.
Can I do a 1031 exchange more than once?
Yes, there is no limit. Many investors roll gains forward for decades, and heirs may get a stepped-up basis. Talk to your tax advisor about your long-term plan.
Does a 1031 work for a primary residence?
No. It is for investment properties only. A different exclusion (Section 121) covers gains on a primary home you lived in 2 of the last 5 years.
