It's important to note that you cannot include your primary residence in a 1031 exchange, as it must be held for personal use rather than investment or business purposes.However, your primary residence may qualify for the Section 121 tax exclusion if you've lived there for at least 2 of the last 5 years.

Keep the risk in check so you will not be taken out of the game. 

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.
