I sold a condo that I had for 5 years and bought a single family. As long as I put the proceeds to the new property I dont have to pay any capital gains do I?

Did you execute a 1031 ? Was there an intermediary?If you ever touched the proceeds you have to pay the gains.

Not on a personal property. But you said investment.

Unless you did it through a 1031 intermediary then nope. Gonna get hit with long term gains on that bad boy.

No the proceeds went directly into the 2nd property. The proceeds were held in escrow.

Both closings had to be done specifically and formally as a 1031 exchange, with funds held by a qualified intermediary to avoid the CG.

Yes if you did not do it the very precise and exact way via 1031 rules, then you are out of luck unfortunately

Was the condo your personal residence for at least 2 of the 5 years? If so, you won’t be taxed on any gain up to $250k individual or $500k married.

Just to piggyback on this thread. I am renting out my former primary residence currently and Q4 next year will make 3 years. If I sell before then, I know I wouldn’t owe capital gains, but what about the depreciation I have claimed? How does that factor in?

Also, question for the seasoned investors. I have a 2.75% rate on this property that I would hate to give up, and the property cash flows very nicely, but wouldn’t it still make sense to take advantage of this one time opportunity I have to sell before 3 years to avoid capital gains?

I owe $120k and have about $130k in equity ($65k of this is appreciation).

Out of curiosity, why didn’t you investigate this before you sold this property?

You will have to pay the depreciation times your tax bracket on the gain.
