What Is Your Objective?
If no other 1031 intermediary asked you this question it means they don't even care.
Examples
- Are you looking to take some cash out or unlock equity?
- Do you want to save (defer) tax dollars and invest them to double in 5 years?
- Are you seizing an opportunity to buy, option or sell?
- Do you want to improve cash flow?
- Do you seek higher appreciation in value?
- Are you trying to reconfigure your holdings (break-up, consolidate, expand or down-size)?
- Do you want to solve problems with your location, property condition, management problems?
- Are you just trying to avoid tax?
- Want to adjust your loan portfolio (better Loan-to-Volume ratio)?
- Changing your investment mix: commercial, residential, multi-family, industrial, retail, office, hospitality, land?
- Providing a residence or an employment opportunity for a parent or child?
- Planning to eventually sell your principal residence (use tax exemptions) then convert a replacement property into your future retirement home?
