Debt Replacement Calculator

To receive full tax deferral using a 1031 exchange, a rule of thumb is the (“Exchangor” or “Taxpayer”) Person intending to conduct a 1031 tax deferred exchange, who transfers a relinquished property and thereafter receives a replacement property. Exchanger must “trade up or even in value”. This means that all the net equity of the sale needs to be reinvested and new debt needs to be in place in an amount at least equal to any debt paid off upon sale of the Relinquished Property. Alternatively, the debt match requirement can be offset by adding fresh cash in that amount.

Matching debt and equity are relatively simple when looking at a traditional Replacement Property such as a single family rental or other similar investment property. However, meeting this requirement is not always as straightforward when an Exchanger is looking to reinvest Exchange Funds into a passive real estate investment such as a A Delaware Statutory Trust is a real estate investment vehicle that provides investors with access to investment grade real estate that is generally larger than they could have acquired on their own. The Taxpayer acquires a fractional interest (see below) in the property. Use of DSTs in 1031 exchanges was approved by the IRS in Revenue Procedure 2004-86. Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) , Tenants-In-Common (TIC), or ultimately into a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). These latter types of investments may come with no debt or debt with very different leverage (debt) percentages associated with an individual investment.
