Sold 8 unit,convert 3 hse personal to bus., then exchange? Lease back 1 house to me?
Sold a long term multi family today. Primary residence is a 50 acre, 3 house property that backs up to a tourist spot. Want to convert my 50 acres to business, then use it as the exchange property. I would then pay rent to the business for 1 house to live in. Rent the other 2 houses and add a couple more small cabins to the property to rent as well. As it sits right now, the 50 acre property is worth about the same as the multi I sold today. The mortgage on it is a tad higher than what I paid off on the multi unit. What we sold was in my wife's name. The 50 acres is in both our names. We file a joint return. Is this possible? I know you can buy certain property for personal and covert it to business later if needed but if the numbers and values match up is it doable? Or would I have to move off the property altogether? I have been reading and studying about this for weeks. Any advice is appreciated and I thank you in advance!
