Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code discusses tax deferred exchanges.
IRC Section 1031 (a)(1) states:
“No gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of real property held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment, if such real property is exchanged solely for real property of like-kind which is to be held either for productive use in a trade or business or for investment.”
When one investment property used for business purposes is replaced with another property used for business purposes. Like-kind refers to the use of the property, not the asset class.

A private placement memorandum (PPM) is a legal document provided to prospective investors when selling investment positions in a property or business. The PPM describes the company selling the investment positions, the terms of the offering, and the risks of the investment.
By law, real estate investors involved in a 1031 exchange cannot receive (or touch) money from a sold property that is used to purchase the replacement property. A Qualified Intermediary is an independent third party that is unrelated to the investors or has had a business relationship during the preceding two years.
A Qualified Intermediary in a 1031 tax-deferred exchange serves three main functions in order to never allow the investor to “touch” the money:
A company that owns and operates income-producing real estate. REITs can focus on a specific asset class or subclass, or they can be general in nature.
In a 1031 exchange, the relinquished property is the property being sold.
1031 tax-deferred exchanges generally fall into three categories: delayed, reverse, and build-to-suit. While delayed 1031 exchanges are the most common, real estate investors use a reverse 1031 exchange when they must close on the replacement property before the relinquished property is sold.
