Is it possible to purchase a replacement property before I sell the property that I own?

Yes, this is known as a "reverse exchange." In a reverse 1031 exchange, the replacement property is acquired before the relinquished property is sold. Although the paperwork involved in a reverse exchanges is more complex than that of a standard 1031 exchange, the concepts are similar.

Within 5 days of the Qualified Intermediary taking title to the replacement property, the taxpayer will execute an agreement with their Qualified Intermediary which details the taxpayer's intention to meet IRS requirements regarding safe harbor reverse exchanges.

The Qualified Intermediary holds title to the replacement property for up to 180 days. During that period, title to the relinquished property must be transferred and the title to the replacement property taken by the taxpayer. The property to be relinquished must be identified in writing within 45 days from the date the Qualified Intermediary assumes the title to the replacement property.
