A “drop & swap” can work, but doing it right before closing can create IRS, title, and closing complications—timing and intent matter.There may be alternative structures depending on basis, debt, and how the LLC is taxed.With a Jan 30 close, the priority is to involve a 1031 specialist + qualified intermediary ASAP and review the LLC docs/returns to choose the safest approach.
