I still have a mortgage to pay for so I'm bleeding money out the door every month.Ideally I would like to sell the place and do a 1031 exchange and purchase another home closer to where I currently live; however, due to COVID's situation, inventory around my area is very limited.If I were to sell the place outright and not do a 1031 exchange, I would be losing out on close to $100k in taxes (w/ my income and capital gains).Here are some of the options that I thought over:Paying Taxes-- Sell the house now and try to do a 1031 exchange but due to limited inventory, I'll most likely won't find a place to buy in time and have to pay $100k in taxes.Pros: Better chance of selling since the inventory is low in the area.
