South Carolina 1031 Exchange FAQ

Common questions from South Carolina investors

How does a 1031 exchange work in South Carolina?
A 1031 exchange in South Carolina 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. South Carolina taxes capital gains as ordinary income at up to 6.4%.
Do I need a qualified intermediary in South Carolina?
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 South Carolina?
Any property held for investment or business use qualifies, including rental properties, vacation rentals, and commercial real estate. 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 South Carolina.
Can I exchange my South Carolina property for one in another state?
Absolutely. 1031 exchanges allow you to sell in South Carolina 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.
