Nice work, take a look at your math and dates though, numbers don't add up and November 2022 is still a few months away.

Just done one with Pierce County; Thornton also out of GH can handle it too. Just heads up all surveyors are stretched thin around here.

Are you invested in DST's? I'm aware of them but not easy to get a comfortable feeling for them.

Thanks Dave, I forgot to include that data in my question. In this case our gain was around $235k and we had depreciated the property $40k during our ownership, so looks like we would owe the federal (income not capital gains) tax on the full $135k. Obviously we need to find a home for the $135k!

Thanks,

Rob

I have been struggling to find out how exactly you get taxed on a partial 1031 exchange. Our scenario is we are selling a property in Washington State for $690k, our net proceeds will be around $635k as we do not have a mortgage. We have found a replacement property for $500k, which will leave us with around $135k left to invest. If we don't end up finding anything what will we be taxed on? The answers I have found range from standard income tax on the $135k to a percentage of the amount we re-invested as a capital gains tax. Looking for clarity!

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Thanks Eric, I appreciate the response. Personally I have never heard of any such concerns however figured the many knowledgeable people on this site would know better.

Hi,

We have a large duplex (2100+ sqft each unit) in a great in town location surrounded by large SFR. The size of the units isn't really reflected in it's rental value as most renters looking for this kind of sqft want a SFR. We were moving down the path of converting into condos but were advised that there can be challenges securing a loan against a condo when the complex is 4 or less units. Does anyone have any experience regarding this they can share? The building is located in Pierce County, Washington. Thanks in advance. Rob
