1031 Exchange-Inherited property question
Hello...my brother and I will be inheriting a single family residence and we will most likely sell it...I do not believe my brother will be interested in owning investment real estate but I would like to re-invest the proceeds into another property and I am wondering if I can do a 1031 exchange in this scenario...any thoughts?

Check with a CPA, but I believe when you inherit a property the basis will be stepped up to fair market value, meaning you won't have a taxable gain (or not much of a gain) if you sell it. If that's the case, you wouldn't need to worry about a 1031 exchange.
