Selling property and doing a 1031 exchange in this shaky market. Thoughts?

I am selling a piece of investment property. I need to do a 1031 exchange. The world markets are shaky and veer towards inflation and deflation. What kind of 1031 investment is out there that can shield a sudden value rupture?

Depending on the amount of equity you are realizing and you intended goals should set you course of action. A NNN trade, a reverse exchange, paying capital gains prior to 2011, your depreciation recapture expense on top of capital gains, etc.

There are some high cap rates for lower-tiered chains (fast food franchises, oil changers, day care centers, other retai) or apartment, medical office or mixed-use properties.

There are some good buys, but remember cap rates, intrinsic value of location and certainty of cash flow dictate price.

Unfortunately, you may be in a situation where you have no choice but to exchange.

Perhaps you could rent a couple of the new units to ACORN at inflated rates and get some of that TARP money back...

Not sure how, or if a 1031 applies to commercial properties, but for residential, (in Ga), a 1031 applies to your primary residence only.(No rental, vacation or rehab/flipper properties). Keep all receipts for repairs, upgrades, property taxes and other expenses to offset your capital gains. If your investment property is in an LLC or S Corp, or other entity, there are other rules & options that apply.
Consult with a GOOD Real Estate oriented CPA. They may be somewhat expensive, but worth every penny if they know what they are doing.
