Frequently Asked Questions
How does land qualify for 1031 exchanges in Los Angeles?
Land qualifies for 1031 exchanges when held for investment or productive use in trade or business. Raw land held for appreciation, ground leased parcels generating rental income, and development sites all qualify as like-kind real property under IRS Section 1031 regulations.
What is a ground lease and how does it work?
A ground lease separates land ownership from building ownership. The landowner leases property to a tenant who constructs and owns improvements during the lease term (typically 25-99 years). Ground leases provide stable, long-term income with minimal landlord responsibilities while the land appreciates.
What are the benefits of land vs. improved property for 1031 exchanges?
Land offers advantages including no depreciation recapture (since land isn't depreciable), lower maintenance requirements, and potential for significant appreciation through development or rezoning. However, raw land doesn't generate current income unless structured as a ground lease.
What factors affect land values in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles land values depend on zoning and entitlements, development density allowed, infrastructure availability, location and access, surrounding land uses, and market timing. Entitled land with approved development plans commands significant premiums over raw, unentitled parcels.
