Commercial Real Estate

If you are an experienced Exchangor and are contemplating a reverse exchange, please consider the following when choosing your Accommodator:

• If you are buying properties using “cap rate” as an indicator of potential ROI, then it is likely that operating income is of primary importance to you. If you sell your Relinquished Property (income producing) using a delayed exchange then your operating income and ROI go to (near) zero by definition during the exchange period – for up to six months. This is not the case in a reverse exchange. It is often the case that ROI is far superior in a reverse because you may have two sources of income during the exchange period. We’re delighted to provide assistance with modeling ROI and/or you can download our modeling tools here.
