1031 Exchange versus Selling

[Rafal K.]

Hi everyone,

I am selling a 4 unit with potentially a large gain. I lived in it the last 2.5 years.  I am trying to find and pay a CPA to run the scenario on the potential tax hit if I do not do a 1031.  I'd like to do a 1031 but wont let the tax tail wag the dog.  Does anyone have a real estate savvy CPA that they recommend that I can pay to run the potential tax hit on the capital gains?  Any recommendation are truly appreciated.
