Thanks @Bill B.

Just what I needed! No Refi needed, I left out the other sweet deal. I have an original HELOC on the home (now LOC) at .25% under bank prime!

I use for Cash buys and liquidity needs.  I like your answer and check on my sanity!

I have had my first rental too long. I admit I have this thing for it: 1000' to a great beach, my dream retirement home, a super long term tenant, a super appreciation.   But from a return on equity it is well out of balance. In terms of the 1% rule, it is now 0.3%. In terms of depreciation I've used 22 of the 27.5 years.   How about some ideas for a good exit strategy?

Thanks @Eddie L. 

Let me start anew and incorporate both replies.

How to Calculate new Property Basis in 1031 Exchange

Define terms:

Property sold (assume purchased w/o any 1031 Exchange)

P1 = Original Purchase price of property exchanged

TDP1 = Total Improved Property = P1 – LV1

DPY1 = depreciation to be taken per year (so TDP1/27.5 -- for SFH)

LV1 = land value when purchased

TD1 = total depreciation taken = DPY1* X

Where X = years of depreciation taken

S1 = Net Sale = cash to QI

G1 = Net gain to be deferred = S1 – B1

D1 = Debt paid off in sale

B1 = Basis of property sold = TDP1-TD1+LV1

=====================================

Property bought in 1031 Exchange w/o boot

Deferred Gain = G1

Deferred Depreciation Recapture = 0.25*TD1

======================================

1031 Requirements: P2 ≥ S1 & D2 ≥ D1

======================================

P2 = Purchase price of property bought

AC2 = Additional Consideration = P2 – S1

TDP2 = Total Improved Property bought

LV2 = land value of property purchased

D2 = Debt assumed in new purchase

B2 = Calculated Basis of property purchased

So just:

B2 = B1 + AC2

And

DPY2 = DPY1 for the next Y years

Where Y = 27.5-X (for a SFH) Is this correct??

Please define new variables if needed.

Thanks for the review so far and welcome the help of anybody!!

Quote from @Eddie L.:

The presentation here has some errors as well. For example, where is P2 ≥ G1 from? P2 should be ≥ the value of the property transferred not the deferred gain of the property transferred. If you sold the property for $1M then the replacement property should be $1M or more. It's probably better to list out a few specific examples like one with no boot no debt, one with boot no debt, one boot yes debt, figure the formula for each of them then list out the if scenarios to apply a formula to each or possibly have one combined formula if that's your end goal.

 I see your point and my error. I will correct the list and and post again with all advice I receive here.  I'm just an anal engineer, and would like to try to make one universal equation.  Cheers, Buddy

@Buddy Holmes

This is from IRS Publication 527 "Residential Rental Property (Including Rental of Vacation Homes)" (I bolded the section that might apply to you. You may want to talk to your CPA about establishing your home as your principal place of business so you can deduct future travel expenses) 

"Local transportation expenses: You may be able to deduct your ordinary and necessary local transportation expenses if you incur them to collect rental income or to manage, conserve, or maintain your rental property. However, transportation expenses incurred to travel between your home and a rental property generally constitute nondeductible commuting costs unless you use your home as your principal place of business. See Pub. 587, Business Use of Your Home, for information on determining if your home office qualifies as a principal place of business."

Hope this helps. 


 Thanks

I picked up, in a talk about use of SDIRA for REI, a mention of using 1099 Income to allow contribution to a Solo 401K.

Does anyone have what kind of 1099 income might be so used?

I unfortunately invested in a student housing DST that went into Chapter 11 due in part to Covid and virtual classes.

I have to take MRD from my TIRA so I need to get the evaluation down to $0 so as to reduce the MDR.

Any Ideas?

Also since it is in a IRA anyway to take a tax credit for the investment loss?

Quote from @Danielle Jackson:

Hi Julia. You should be able to use other sources for purchasing, but whatever percentage of total investment used from the IRA must be returned. So if IRA assets totaled 75% of the purchase price, then 75% of all proceeds (rental income, etc) would need to be returned to the IRA.


 I agree.  I think in that case you could not do any work on the rental but have it out-sourced.  Also any loans would need to be from select sources who loan on properties partially or fully owned by IRAs.

Quote from @Greg Kasmer:

Julia - If you're looking to invest in a property as your primary focus/goal you'll need to get the funds into a property vehicle to do that investing. From my experience if you have an IRA you are restricted to the investment opportunities where you currently have the IRA (i.e. Fidelity, Vanguard, etc...) so the closest you can get to property would be a REIT. The most direct way would be to direct it to a SDIRA and then use those funds to invest in a property. However, it can not be a property you or a direct relative own or have a large ownership stake. Ideally, it's a property your invested in as a Limited Partner (LP). I've personally done this a few times and have written a quick "user guide" on how to do it to make it easier. However, my other suggestion is that if you have a LOT of equity in your primary home I would consider a HELOC or a cash out refinance in your primary residence in order to invest. I refinanced my primary residence last year and took a HELOC this year.

If you want to talk further, please message me and we'll connect. Sounds like you have some good opportunities to think about!


I agree with Greg. Also I would get a second opinion of the time you have on the inherited IRA. I have heard that it is 10 years to cash out. They may be fraction due out each year but not all out in 3-4 years. Ask on the tax forum.
