As far as your primary residence, if you have lived in it 2 out of the last 5 years, you should not have to pay taxes on capital gains (difference between what you paid for it & what you sold it for) up to $250,000 if you file your taxes as an individual and $500,000 if you file jointly with a spouse.Just a disclaimer, I am not a tax professional.

My company has gone through 3 dishwashers in the last 12 months and it has been an added expense.

My last note would be to try to buy 3 or less replacement properties, it makes the exchange much easier and you avoid some additional rules.

So in my mind it would be best used as a last move into a REIT you never sell.  

The only “good news” is you’re paying for last year’s shortage and thsi year’s taxes, or this year’s shortage and next year’s escrow account.
