IOWA EQUITY EXCHANGE was founded to meet the needs of investors and landowners who desire to defer capital gain taxes on real estate transactions that involve property used for investment or in the productive use of a business. We provide Qualified Intermediary services for tax-deferred exchanges throughout the United States.
Ken Tharp established Iowa Equity Exchange to serve investors and landowners of all levels of expertise and experience. In addition to having been a real estate investor himself since 1979, Ken has been involved in virtually all areas of real estate – from sales to new construction to property management to extensive renovations. After personal experience in a number of §1031 tax-deferred exchanges, it became a passion to expose this invaluable process to as many other individuals as possible—thus was born Iowa Equity Exchange.
At Iowa Equity Exchange, our commitment is to provide investors and real estate professionals with a high level of expertise. We offer outstanding security for your funds while held in trust. We pledge to maintain the integrity of every exchange.
A “Qualified Intermediary” is charged with guiding the property owner through the §1031 exchange process. We inform the investor of exchange requirements, produce the necessary exchange documents, provide the critical time monitoring procedures required, and manage the investor’s funds while in our possession. We are not engaged in the practice of law or accounting; we urge all clients to discuss the matter of exchanging with their trusted advisers. We will be happy to join in those discussions if desired by the parties.
If you are interested in learning more about Section 1031 tax-deferred exchanges, please feel welcome to contact Ken Tharp anytime at 800-805-1031 or 515-224-5259. There is also a considerable amount of informational content on our web site, www.iowaequityexchange.com, particularly in the Exchange Basics/FAQs section.
