1031 Exchange - Exchange for propety of lesser value?
"Property" not Propety...
Sorry if this is a redundant question. I seriously searched for answers to similar question.
I have a SFR that I've purchased in 2008 for $250K. After repairs It will likely sell for $400K.
This amounts to approximately $30K in capital gains tax.
I want to utilize a 1031 exchange.
Do I have to find a $400k value property? Because I'd MUCH rather find a property of much lesser value. Like $150K.
Can I utilize a 1031 for a property of lesser value and pay tax on the difference?
Thx!
