FAQs
How do identification rules work when I'm identifying properties outside Boston, MA for my exchange?
Identification rules apply the same way whether properties are in Boston, MA or nationwide. You must provide written identification to your Qualified Intermediary within 45 days of transferring your relinquished property, including specific addresses or legal descriptions. You can identify up to three properties without value restrictions, or use the 200% rule to identify more properties. The properties must be like-kind real estate, regardless of location, to qualify for exchange treatment.
Can I identify STNL properties in other states if I'm doing a Boston, MA exchange?
Yes, you can identify single-tenant net lease properties in any state for your Boston, MA exchange. Like-kind exchange rules require that replacement properties be real estate held for investment or business use, but there are no geographic restrictions. Many Boston, MA investors identify nationwide STNL properties to access better pricing, stronger tenant credits, or more favorable lease terms than available locally.
What happens if I receive boot when acquiring a nationwide STNL property for my Boston, MA exchange?
Boot treatment is the same regardless of property location. If your nationwide STNL replacement property costs less than your Boston, MA relinquished property sale proceeds, or if you receive cash back, that amount is boot and subject to immediate taxation. We help structure acquisitions to minimize boot by identifying properties that match or exceed your exchange basis, regardless of geographic location.
How do I verify that a nationwide STNL property qualifies as like-kind replacement property for my Boston, MA exchange?
Like-kind requirements focus on property type and use, not location. A nationwide STNL property qualifies if it's real estate held for investment or business use, which includes leased commercial properties. We verify tenant credit, lease terms, and property characteristics to ensure the property meets like-kind requirements. The property must be identified in writing within your 45-day window and acquired within 180 days of your relinquished property transfer.
What due diligence support is included for nationwide STNL properties identified for Boston, MA exchanges?
Our nationwide STNL identification includes tenant credit reports, lease abstract review, property condition assessments, location and market analysis, and financial performance data. We coordinate property inspections, title review, and environmental assessments to support your evaluation within identification and acquisition timelines. All due diligence is structured to support rapid decision-making while maintaining exchange compliance.

For Boston, MA investors facing 45-day deadlines, we prioritize rapid property identification and can provide ongoing updates as new opportunities become available. Our nationwide network enables fast access to both on-market listings and off-market opportunities.
What makes triple net lease properties attractive for Boston, MA exchange investors?
Triple net lease structures transfer property operating expenses directly to tenants, creating hands-off ownership models that generate consistent rental income with minimal landlord involvement. For Boston, MA investors completing exchanges, these properties offer predictable cash flows from credit-rated corporate tenants who handle property taxes, insurance premiums, and maintenance costs. The lease structures typically span 10-20 years with corporate guarantees, providing long-term income stability that aligns well with exchange timelines. Many Boston investors transition from management-intensive properties into these passive income assets, which qualify as like-kind replacement property while reducing ongoing operational responsibilities.
