Rex sells (relinquished) property and completes a like-kind exchange by purchasing replacement property. The relinquished property is referred to as the Old property and the replacement as the New property. You may assume that all elements of Section 1031 have been satisfied. Complete the empty sections of the chart below:

FMV Old	900,000	900,000	900,000	900,000
Liability Old	-0-	-0-	-0-	<100,000>
Basis Old	500,000	100,000	100,000	400,000
FMV New	900,000	700,000	1,200,000	1,000,000
Liability New	-0-	-0-	-0-	<300,000>
Cash	-0-		<300,000>
Cash Received	-0-	200,000		100,000

The above example is what is typically found in a secondary source explaining 1031 exchanges. Exchanges are almost never two-party exchanges. When someone sells relinquished property and wants to do an exchange, the buyer will not cooperate like Crown Zeller Bach did in the Starker exchange.

How does a qualified intermediary solve this problem?

What are the two time periods required to complete an exchange?
