Background & Context

3 stories

3.1

Three deadlines that kill 1031 exchanges.

A 1031 like-kind exchange has three hard clocks: the 45-day identification window, the 180-day close window, and the same-taxpayer rule (the entity selling and buying must match). Missing any one of these collapses the deferral, exposing the full gain to tax. The most-missed is the same-taxpayer rule when LLCs change membership mid-exchange.

Why It Matters

The tax exposure on a busted exchange is the full long-term capital gain plus depreciation recapture — often 25-30% of the basis difference. Process discipline is the only protection.

3.2

A 5-minute checklist before pulling a building permit.

The most-rejected permit applications fail on documentation completeness, not project merit. A reliable pre-submission check covers four things: (1) parcel zoning matches intended use, (2) setback dimensions match the survey, (3) any required HOA or design-review sign-off is attached, (4) contractor license number is valid and unrestricted in the issuing jurisdiction.

Why It Matters

Permit re-submission resets the queue clock in most NV jurisdictions, adding 2-6 weeks to a project. Catching documentation gaps before submission is the cheapest schedule recovery tool an owner has.

3.3

Why due-diligence periods are getting shorter — and what survives the squeeze.

In tight markets, sellers compress diligence windows from 30 days to 7-10. The items that survive a compressed window are the ones with hard external dependencies — title work, survey, environmental Phase I — because they cannot be parallelized further. Inspections and financing contingencies tend to get squeezed first.

Why It Matters

Buyers who try to do the same diligence in 1/3 the time produce lower-quality findings and end up with surprises at closing. Knowing what cannot be compressed is the difference between a clean close and a re-trade.
