1031 Exchange and Financing Support for Federal Lease Investments
Many Bear Wells clients are transitioning out of management-intensive properties and into stable, income-producing buildings with federal tenants. Often this involves a 1031 exchange and carefully structured financing. We coordinate with your advisors to help keep your exchange and loan process on track.
Support for 1031 Investors
Clients often come to us after selling:
Operating businesses
Farms and ranches
Management of heavy real estate assets
They are looking for secure, largely passive replacement properties that qualify for a 1031 exchange. We work with you and your qualified intermediary to help:
Confirm that the replacement property structure is acceptable for 1031 purposes
Meet identification and closing deadlines
Align the property’s income profile with your retirement or cash flow goals
Financing Guidance
While we are not a lender, we have extensive experience working with banks and GSA-specific lenders that understand federal lease investments. Our role is to:
Illustrate lending options that can enhance overall returns
Help you compare leverage levels and interest rate structures
Introduce you to lenders who are familiar with GSA lease underwriting
Coordinate information flow between the lender, appraiser, and other parties
A Smooth Path to Closing
Several items can help your loan and exchange process run smoothly. We assist with:
Verifying that the land and parcel information is accurate and complete
Confirming that the building is in sound condition or that any issues are understood
Working with your title team to deliver a clean, marketable title
Coordinating communications between buyer, seller, brokers, attorneys, and lender
Our goal is to reduce surprises so that your financing and exchange complete successfully and on time.
