[edit]I have merged the old 1031 Exchange article with this one and attempted to clean up the resulting merged article. It could still use a little more copyediting and cleanup, though. Bry9000 (talk) 22:13, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Ed Okun
[edit]Please consider the addition of the Ed Okun fraud, where Okun was accused of stealing client escrow funds from Q.I. companies Okun purchased. This came from Bloomberg and the TV series American Greed. Placing money in a Q.I. may not be as safe as one would think. 71.139.164.142 (talk) 18:59, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for a very useful article - can't believe it is rated "Start"
[edit]As much as I hate the "like" buttons on so many websites, I would have used one here. Instead, I'll just add this section (feel free to delete it) to thank the authors of this article - despite being rated as "Start" class and "Low importance" it provided a very clear and understandable explanation of this type of real estate transaction, which was very helpful to a "casual reader" with some personal interest in the topic. 104.132.34.99 (talk) 14:34, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

My biggest problem with this article is the external links to company's who can gain financially from this article. The purpose of the WIKI has always been for information purpose only. If there are links to commercial entities, the value of this information is diminished. |

Changes in the law
[edit]This article needs to be updated for changes in the law effective, generally, for exchanges of assets completed after December 31, 2017, under section 13303 of the so-called Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Public Law no. 115-97, signed into law by President Donald Trump on December 22, 2017.
Briefly, for such transactions, the general rule is that only gains or losses on the exchange of real property (i.e., real estate) will receive non-recognition treatment under section 1031. For example, exchanges of livestock will no longer be covered by section 1031, whether of the same sex or not. And, exchanges of real estate "held primarily for sale" will not receive the non-recognition treatment.
We'll have to pull the sources together and work on this later. Famspear (talk) 22:36, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
