Before the Sale
Clarify ownership, use, expected equity, debt, management goals, target income, and the professionals already involved.
Selling investment property? Get free guidance for the sale, independent qualified-intermediary introductions, direct replacement-property choices, passive DST information, and the decisions that lead to closing.

The exchange starts with why the Memphis property no longer fits. The answer shapes every replacement choice: income, control, debt, location, workload, diversification, and the probability of closing on time.
Bring the property, the timeline, and the outcome you want. The next step may involve a QI, CPA, attorney, lender, broker, title team, direct property, or DST review—and the right sequence matters.

A DST may give a qualifying Memphis seller access to professionally managed, institutional-quality real estate without personally handling day-to-day property management.
DST interests are private securities. Availability, projected income, sponsor and property risk, fees, leverage, illiquidity, investor eligibility, and suitability vary by offering and require review through appropriately licensed professionals and the offering documents.
The first conversation identifies where the transaction stands, what must happen next, and which independent professionals need to be involved. There is no numbered script because every property sale starts in a different place.
Clarify ownership, use, expected equity, debt, management goals, target income, and the professionals already involved.
Confirm independent QI timing before closing, build the calendar, and turn the desired outcome into a written replacement brief.
Compare direct property and passive options for diligence, financing, workload, control, risk, and realistic closing probability.
Keep title, lender, inspections, insurance, entity documents, funding directions, and advisor questions visible through closing.
The property being sold may be in the Mid-South while the best replacement is across Tennessee or elsewhere in the country. Compare markets against income, debt, control, management, and closing goals.
Potentially. A seller can compare another direct property with professionally managed or passive replacement options. The right path depends on desired control, income, liquidity, risk, eligibility, and advisor guidance.
Yes. Submit the short property-list request and share what you are selling, the expected equity, debt, timing, income goals, and whether reducing management is a priority.
Call as soon as possible. An independent qualified intermediary generally must be engaged before the relinquished-property closing, and the search, financing, title, and diligence plan should begin immediately.
Inherited property can raise basis, ownership, use, co-owner, estate, and timing questions. The owner should review those facts with a CPA and attorney before deciding whether an exchange is appropriate.
A Memphis seller can consider qualifying replacement real estate in other markets. Location, financing, diligence, property management, income, and closing feasibility should all be compared before identification.
Yes. The initial conversation is free and is designed to identify the sale facts, deadlines, replacement goals, and independent professionals the transaction may require.
Yes. These structures require specialized qualified intermediary, title, financing, tax, and legal work. Calling early gives the transaction team more time to determine whether the structure is practical.
Use the same short form whether the property is only being considered for sale, already listed, or under contract. A Memphis 1031 specialist will follow up to discuss the next practical step.
