@Tylere WeaverIf you sell now and seller finance it I do t believe you can then do a 1031 later as the property was already sold.Check with your intermediary- there are several here on BP you can engage with.

So it would be fine to add her to the title of your new property.I agree with @Christian Styles, no need to mess with a gift at all. 

Don t sell furnished unless you are not purchasing another property to be used as a STVR.Don t bet on appreciation of RE to rescue you from a property.
