Improvement exchanges allow you to use the proceeds from the exchange of your relinquished property to make improvements to the replacement property. This usually happens when the fair market value of the replacement property is less than that of the relinquished property. If you were to simply acquire the replacement property and construct the improvements, the improvements would not qualify as like-kind property. Therefore, you cannot take title to the replacement property until the improvements are completed. Typically, the Qualified Intermediary (QI) (or an affiliate of the QI, such as Reverse 1031 CORP.) will create a special purpose entity (SPE) to take title to the replacement property directly from the seller, sign the contract with the builder and have the improvements completed. Once the improvements are completed, the SPE conveys title to you at the higher price to complete your 1031 exchange.
