Frequently asked questions

How does nationwide replacement search work in Orange County, CA?

We maintain a network of single tenant NNN retail listings across all 50 states. Orange County investors receive curated options matched to their exchange goals, credit requirements, and yield targets. Properties are vetted before presentation to ensure they meet IRS like-kind requirements and your investment criteria.

What identification rules apply to nationwide properties?

The same IRS identification rules apply regardless of property location. You must identify replacement properties within 45 calendar days after closing your relinquished asset in Orange County, CA. The three property rule, 200 percent rule, or 95 percent rule can be used for multiple identifications.

How is boot handled in nationwide exchanges?

Boot occurs when you receive cash or non-like-kind property in the exchange. We structure debt replacement and contract pricing to minimize boot. Any boot received becomes immediately taxable as capital gains, so careful structuring is essential for nationwide replacement property acquisitions.

Do California transfer taxes apply to out-of-state properties?

California transfer taxes apply only to properties located in California. When acquiring replacement property outside California, you will be subject to that state's transfer tax rules. A 1031 exchange defers federal and state income tax but does not remove transfer or documentary taxes.

How do you verify nationwide property quality?

We review lease abstracts, rent rolls, tenant credit reports, and property condition assessments before presenting options. Our underwriting process includes cap rate benchmarking against local market comparables to ensure pricing aligns with Orange County, CA investor expectations.

What happens if nationwide property closing is delayed?

The 180 day closing deadline applies regardless of property location. We coordinate with lenders, inspectors, and accommodators to keep closings on track. If delays occur, we work with your qualified intermediary to explore extension options or alternative replacement properties.
