When Eminent Domain Takes Your Property, Take Back Control With a 1033 Exchange

If you are serious about building real wealth, you have to understand that the tax code plays offense if you know where to look. Everyone talks about the 1031 Exchange. Very few talk about the 1033 Exchange. That is the advantage. The real players study the rules that other investors ignore.

If you are dealing with a condemnation, an eminent domain notice, or a property destroyed by disaster, you are standing in front of one of the most underrated tax advantages in the game. A 1033 Exchange can be the moment where you turn a setback into a launchpad.

If you want to walk through this strategy one on one, go to BetterCallTommy.com and lock in a private consultation. DO NOT wait. This is the type of window where speed creates advantage.

What a 1033 Exchange Really Is

Break it down in simple terms:

• A 1033 is the IRS rule that lets you defer capital gains taxes when your property is taken from you by force.

• Think condemnation, eminent domain, or a property wiped out by disaster.

• If you reinvest into similar real property within the allowed timeline, you keep your gains compounding instead of handing them to the IRS.

• It is the cousin of the 1031, but built for situations where you did not choose to sell.

• The IRS gives you more time and more freedom because they know the sale was involuntary.

• Smart investors use a 1033 the way elite fighters use adversity. It becomes fuel.

Are Mineral Rights 1033 Compatible

Here is where things get interesting:

• Yes. Deeded mineral rights qualify as real property in every major oil and gas state.

• The IRS already recognizes mineral rights as approved replacement property for both 1031 and 1033.

• If your land, building, ranch, or commercial site gets taken, you can roll your gains into deeded mineral rights and stay fully compliant.

• Mineral rights check every box the IRS cares about: real property, income producing, backed by recorded title.

• Many investors prefer mineral rights during a 1033 because the timelines are easier and the freedom is greater.

• You protect your gains and defer capital gains taxes while upgrading into a cashflowing hard asset with no tenants and no maintenance.

Do You Need a Qualified Intermediary for a 1033

This part surprises people:

• A 1033 does not require a Qualified Intermediary.

• The IRS gives you more flexibility because the transaction was not voluntary.

• You can hold the funds yourself, work through your attorney, or let your CPA structure the timing.

• The only non negotiable rule is that you must reinvest into qualifying real property inside the allowed window.

• Many investors still use a QI for discipline, but it is optional.

1031 vs 1033 Timelines: The Real Difference

This is where the 1033 starts looking like a cheat code:

1031 Timelines

• You get 45 days to identify your replacements.

• You get 180 days total to close.

• Zero flexibility. Zero mercy. You miss a deadline and you pay.

• Funds must stay with a QI.
  

1033 Timelines

• You usually get two to three years to secure replacement property.

• No 45 day identification pressure.

• No 180 day finish line.

• No mandatory QI.

• The IRS gives you real breathing room because the sale was forced.
  

The Big Picture

• A 1031 is rigid and unforgiving.

• A 1033 is flexible and investor friendly.

• If you qualify, the 1033 timeline lets you shop like a strategist instead of rushing like a rookie.

Why Investors Are Rolling 1033 Proceeds Into Mineral Rights

Here is the truth that most investors never hear:

• Mineral rights can produce monthly income without the typical headaches of real estate.

• You own the resource, not the structure.

• No maintenance. No tenants. No broken AC units.

• You get direct royalty income backed by title.

• You preserve gains and defer capital gains taxes while positioning yourself for long term income.

• You get a hard asset that beats inflation and tracks global energy demand.

• You get an asset that the wealthy have used for generations but rarely talk about publicly.
