Posted

i'm selling 3 of my rental properties that i have been holding for 3 years.

my question is , if i'm buying a bigger residential house first, and 4 months later this year, i sold these 3 rental properties, and use the proceeds to pay towards my residential house mortgage, will that avoid any tax?
