Rhode Island 1031 Exchange FAQ

Common questions from Rhode Island investors

How does a 1031 exchange work in Rhode Island?
A 1031 exchange in Rhode Island follows the same IRS rules as anywhere in the U.S. You sell an investment property, a qualified intermediary holds the proceeds, you identify replacement properties within 45 days, and close within 180 days. Rhode Island taxes capital gains as ordinary income at up to 5.99%.
Do I need a qualified intermediary in Rhode Island?
Yes. IRS rules require a qualified intermediary (QI) to facilitate your 1031 exchange. The QI holds your sale proceeds and ensures compliance with all deadlines. You cannot touch the funds yourself, or the exchange is disqualified. Talk to a certified QI today.
What properties qualify for a 1031 exchange in Rhode Island?
Any property held for investment or business use qualifies, including multi-family, vacation rental, and commercial properties. Primary residences and fix-and-flip properties do not qualify. Your replacement property can be in any U.S. state — you're not limited to Rhode Island.
Can I exchange my Rhode Island property for one in another state?
Absolutely. 1031 exchanges allow you to sell in Rhode Island and buy replacement property anywhere in the United States. Many investors use this to diversify into different markets or move into passive investments like DSTs.
