The payments are flexible. They can start immediately or be deferred to last their entire life, or for a defined term with payments by month, quarter, half-year or year.
The tax consequences are the same as if the buyer were making installment payments directly.

You may be able to convert the character of investment property to a principal residence and take advantage of the exclusion.
A reverse mortgage is a type of home equity loan that allows you to convert some of the equity in your home into cash while you continue to own the home.
Rather than paying your lender each month, the lender pays you monthly payments, a lump sum, a line of credit, or some combination.
The amount you are eligible to borrow generally is based on your age, the value of your property, the equity in your home, and the interest rate the lender is charging.

In order for your property to qualify for an IRC §1033 - Condemnation Sale of Property exchange the taxpayers must sell their property under the threat of (or imminence of) requisition or condemnation to defer the gain on the sale.
The IRS' position is that the threat of (or imminence of) requisition or condemnation exists when the taxpayer learns through a reliable source that a governmental or quasi-governmental entity has decided to acquire the taxpayer's property, but only if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the condemnation or requisition will actually occur.
This usually takes the form of a letter from the governmental entity that is negotiating to buy your property that they will condemn it if necessary.
The replacement property for real estate need merely be "like-kind." "Like-kind" means real property held either for investment or for productive use in a trade or business.
The replacement of personal property under IRC §1033 requires that the replacement property be "similar in use" to the personal property that was disposed of in a condemnation sale.
Taxpayers are granted three-years from the closing of the sale (IRC §1031(g)(4) in which to replace real estate used in a trade or business.
Other property disposed of in a condemnation sale is required to be replaced within two-years from the end of the year in which the sale took place.
You do not need an accommodator under the involuntary conversion exchange rules.
Taxpayers can use the cash received from a condemnation sale under §1033 any way they wish. The replacement property can be 100% financed without using any of the cash you received from the sale of the condemnation property. There are no requirements to use any of the condemnation sale cash for closing on replacement real estate. The replacement property must only be of equal value.
The condemnation sale should be reported on Form 4797, and the gain should be noted as "suspended under §1033."
The taxpayer donates assets, such as appreciated stock or land, to an irrevocable trust with two types of designated beneficiaries, non-charitable (typically yourself) and a qualified charity.
You generate an immediate tax deduction based on the difference between the appreciated value of the assets and the present value of the income interest in the trust retained by the non-charitable beneficiary.
Sale of the assets contributed to the charitable remainder trust occurs tax-free.
Once established, it cannot be changed.
