Total parked cost

Bridge interest

$73,333

Net carry cost

$37,333

How the math works

Bridge = price × rate × (months/12). Net carry = bridge − income. Total = net + QI.

$2M × 11% × 4/12 = $73k bridge − $36k income = $37k net + $8.5k QI = $45,833 parked cost.

How this calculator works

What this page estimates

This 1031 Reverse Parked Cost Calculator is built to give a quick, browser-based estimate for 1031 reverse parked cost. Reverse 1031 exchanges park property with QI — compute holding costs during parked period. The inputs stay on the page during normal use, and the result should be treated as an estimate for planning, comparison, or education rather than professional advice.

Calculation approach

The calculator applies the standard relationship implied by the inputs, then formats the answer so it can be checked and reused. For finance tools, the most important step is using consistent units, rates, time periods, and assumptions before comparing the result with another calculator or outside quote.

Example workflow

For example, start with a realistic value you already know, change one input at a time, and watch how the answer moves. That makes it easier to tell whether the result is being driven by the main amount, the rate, the time period, or a unit conversion.

Practical checks

  • Use current, real-world numbers when the result affects money, health, tax, or legal decisions.
  • Run a low, base, and high case when the inputs are estimates.
  • Check the related calculators below when the next decision depends on a different assumption.

How to interpret the 1031 reverse parked cost result

Best use

Use the result as a planning number for comparing payments, rates, returns, tax reserves, or cash-flow choices before you request a quote or make a commitment.

Cross-check

Compare the answer with the contract, lender estimate, tax form, brokerage statement, payroll record, or invoice that will control the real-world outcome.

Watch for

Do not rely on a single optimistic rate, return, or fee assumption. Money pages work best when you run low, base, and high cases and keep professional advice separate from the estimate.

This page belongs to the Finance calculator library, so the answer should be read in the context of the decision you are modeling rather than as a universal rule.

Before relying on this 1031 reverse parked cost estimate

Most calculator mistakes come from the inputs, not the arithmetic. Use this short audit before you reuse the answer in a spreadsheet, quote, application, or important conversation.

Confirm source numbers

Match balances, rates, fees, taxes, income, and payment dates against the lender quote, payroll record, tax form, statement, invoice, or contract.

Separate cash flow from total cost

A lower monthly payment can still cost more over time if fees, interest, taxes, or a longer term are hidden in the structure.

Run conservative cases

Test at least one higher-cost or lower-return case before using the output for a purchase, refinance, investment, loan, or tax decision.

Rerun this page when the rate, price, term, fee, tax rule, income, expense, or expected holding period changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a reverse 1031?

Reverse 1031 exchange under Rev. Proc. 2000-37 safe harbor: taxpayer acquires replacement property BEFORE selling relinquished property. QI (qualified intermediary) holds title to either relinquished or replacement property in 'exchange accommodation titleholder' (EAT) until relinquished sells. 180-day exchange period still applies. Allows securing replacement while buyer for relinquished is lined up.

Financing while parked?

EAT borrows funds (taxpayer's money or third-party bridge loan) to acquire replacement. Taxpayer guarantees loan. Property income during parked period goes to taxpayer (or offsets taxpayer's bridge loan). Title held by EAT = complicates conventional financing; most use bridge/hard-money lenders (Kiavi, RCN, Walker Dunlop, Greystone) at 9-14% rates. Conventional permanent financing happens AFTER relinquished closes.

Typical parked cost?

Bridge loan interest: 9-14% × 60-180 days. QI fee for reverse: $5-15k (vs $1-3k for forward). Legal: $10-25k. EAT setup fee: $2-5k. Property tax + insurance during parked: minor. Total parked cost on $2M replacement over 120 days: $80-130k. Often outweighs tax savings unless gain is very large ($1M+).

When is it worth it?

(1) Hot market where replacement must be locked before relinquished sells. (2) Complex property (apartment building, commercial) with specific buyer profile. (3) Large capital gain ($1M+) where tax deferral savings >$300-500k. (4) Institutional taxpayer with tax planning cushion. For smaller deals (<$500k gain), forward exchange with backup plan usually cheaper.
