Following 1031 Reverse exchange events all taking place under the facilitator's umbrella. I'm dropping $1,000s. Client acquired property A in late 2008 for $950, $5 down and debt of $945 which includes $350 note that is to be paid from sale of property B. Property B with basis of $200 being sold for $590.. proceeds to pay off $200 debt on B, $40 transaction costs, and $350 of acquisition note on A.

The 180 day time limit will expire before buyer of B can complete the financing that creates $350.

Facilitator and realtor want to deed B to new buyer, subject to existing debt, pending a refinance when the $590 less $200 old debt and $40 transacton costs would be paid off "getting out of the hands of the facilitator and into hands of Property B buyer who, under terms of the pending refinance agreement, uses this $350 to pay note to Property A seller.

I have sugested to my client that his disposal of B creates a taxable event... either because the excvhange was not completed within the 180 day period ... or he has received $350 of boot.

Comments.... suggestions...?
