1031 exchange rental property for RV.
I have a condo that is a rental I would sell if I were allowed a 1031 Exchange for building my retirement RV.
Anyone know if this might possibly be allowed?

@Bill Wills, probably not. The 1031 has to be a sale of investment real estate followed by a purchase of investment real estate. An RV is going to be classified as personal property. There are times when an RV could be treated as real estate when attached to a lot. But for something you want to travel in you almost certainly get a registration certificate from the DMV and not a tax bill from the county appraiser. That makes it not real estate so no 1031.
If your tax bill is going to be large then 1031 but into a passive cash flow producing asset. Purchase an RV and pay for it with the tax deferred cash flow.
