In this episode, Tim Vi Tran, SIOR, CCIM, breaks down how different types of boot—cash, debt relief, and non–like-kind property—are taxed, why depreciation recapture and capital gains are treated differently, and how the order of taxation affects what you keep in your pocket. You’ll hear practical scenarios for Bay Area commercial real estate owners, when to avoid boot to maximize deferral, when taking boot can improve portfolio fit or liquidity, and a simple “2/3 rule of thumb” for estimating after-tax cash. We’ll also walk through a pre-, during-, and post-exchange checklist so you can better coordinate with your qualified intermediary, CPA, and legal team.
