Questions about 1031s and partnerships

[Jacob Thompson]

Hello:

To this point, I've always bought investment property as an individual. I'm about to form a partnership to buy property with someone, and I'm not sure how the 1031 rules might apply here.

1. Can I take investment gains from a property I own as an individual and do a 1031 exchange into a new partnership that would own new property?

2. After I make gains in the partnership, can I 1031 those back to personally owned property?

Thanks.
