Employing a bank-owned qualified intermediary for a 1031 exchange can greatly enhance your financial management. The bank holds the proceeds from the sale of your property and ensures they are correctly reinvested into a replacement property.
In a three or four party exchange, including the Taxpayer, Buyer of the old property and Seller of the replacement property, then yes, a Qualified Intermediary is required. The g(6) constructive receipt limitations of the 1031 code prohibit the taxpayer from touching the exchange funds or the net equity from the sale.
The QI must maintain the funds involved in the transaction separately from the taxpayer's accounts, and the qualified intermediary must be a neutral party. The intermediary can be a person, company, or other entity, but must not be related or married to the taxpayer.
How To Find a Qualified Intermediary for a 1031 Exchange Asking your local escrow officer for recommendations. Speaking to fellow investors in your network for references. Using national directories for QIs registered with regulatory groups, such as the Federation of Exchange Accommodators.
The property must be a business or investment property, which means that it can't be personal property. Your home won't qualify for a 1031 exchange. However, a single-family rental property that you own could be exchanged for commercial rental property.

Section 1031(f) provides that if a Taxpayer exchanges with a related party then the party who acquired the property in the exchange must hold it for 2 years or the exchange will be disallowed.
