I am attempting to sell a rental property. I do not want to be a landlord, but I do not want to pay capital gains taxes. Can we sell the rental homes and our primary residence and use all the money to buy a future home under the 1031? Can I re-invest into something else to avoid the taxes?

In short, not as you described. “The IRS states that the relinquished property (property being sold) and the replacement property (property being bought) must be like-kind. Generally speaking, any type of investment property type may qualify for an exchange, except your primary residence.”

I suggest that you read at least an overview about 1031 exchanges, and then consult a qualified CPA.

Either get a PM company to do it for you, or pay the capital gains.

You will need to forget the idea of taking the rental gains and rolling them into a primary with the 1031. Not happening.

If it were me, with interest rates where they are, I’d roll the investment property into investment timber land/hunting land and lease it to a Company or club. You won’t have any upkeep and that’s about as good as you will get without paying the gains

This.

However, correct me if I’m wrong, depreciation recapture would come into affect here since you can’t depreciate land, correct?
