Talk:1031 exchange

Inclusion of purely commercial links on real estate related sites not appropriate

As with other real estate sites, the consensus among contributors/editors is that a list of purely commercial links to businesses offering real estate services is not appropriate and that they will be removed as they appear. Vivaverdi 15:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Google places an enormous value to this page. Linking from this page to a commercial web site can promote that site to top 10 status, almost overnight. If you value the data on this page, please remove ALL commercial links and leave only governmental links. Jwbarber 18:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Moved from comment / review page

I'm an attorney, real estate broker and full time 1031 accommodator. I added a lot of stuff to this page maybe a year ago. I wrote the "qualified intermediary" section which has been changed a bit bu others.

However, now I log into the page and see that half of it is about tenant in common exchanges? Gee, I wonder who put that in there. Makes it look like that is the only way you can accomplish a 1031 exchange, and there are MANY risks involved. TICS are in no way the safest properties to exchange into.

"The recent tax ruling" DOES NOT give the approval that TIC companies want you to think it does.

Talk to an accommodator before you rely on this article. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.126.132.83 (talk • contribs) 19:06, 12 January 2007 (UTC).

I think that you'll find that this whole section was added by User talk:Stuart Chamberlin and then much (if not all) was reverted due to its copied source. When I saw it there, I cleaned it up a bit and gave it a bigger sub-heading. Don't know enough 1031 TICs to know if it is accurate.

Maybe we should propose placing it in a separate article, which I would support Viva-Verdi 23:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

A separate article is more appropriate, however, the entire TIC section beyond the basic description is very misleading, and is basically an ad for the TIC industry. A good marketing piece for them.

Rev Rulling 2002-22, referred to here, which is always cited by the TIC industry as something that legitimizes their products, discusses whether these TIC interests are partnership interests or business entity interest as opposed to a real estate interest. It never mentions whether a TIC interest is suitable for a 1031 exchange. What it really says is that, if the TIC interest meets a long list of requirements, then it MIGHT be suitable IF request a ruling from the IRS on your PARTICULAR deal. It is not a blanket authority.

I work with this industry all the time. I have nothing against them. I just don't like to see blatantly BIASED marketing information in what is supposed to be a factual setting.

I think a "Neutrality in Doubt: heading is at least appropriate.

::Now we certainly have two votes to creat a separate article. However, based on 67.126.132.83 (Talk) 's comments above, it looks like a lot of work needs to be done.

Maybe he/she can do it, if I creat a new article?? Viva-Verdi 19:42, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
