Are there any tax advantages for the seller of a property, who is not exchanging, in a 1031 exchange?


Question:


Answers:
No, nobody actually has a tax advantage in a 1031 exchange. The person who is exchanging one property for another similar property (to qualify for the 1031 exchange) is only postponing the taxes on the gain(s).
None whatsoever. A 1031 is only of value to the person who is selling one investment property and replacing it with a 'like kind' investment.
You can't have an exchange without exchanging property!
The seller may have no tax advantages but may have an advantage in negotiation. You know as a seller that the buyer must identify replacement property within their 45 day period from the close of the relinquished property and close within 180 days. That means you have a motivated buyer.
Unfortunately not.
