@Fulati PaerhatiA 1031 exchange is a powerful strategy to defer capital gains taxes and grow your rental portfolio.

There are two reasons this is a bad idea.Investing with an SDIRA (assuming it is not a Roth) will often result in paying significantly more taxes. 

There are less taxes in Alberta too.

People will forever say “avoid Detroit” or good luck cash flowing…. 

The sellers you are dealing with in these situations don't deal with prorating Taxes, or any other kind of prorations, that is what an escrow agent does. 

Hi! I have a short term rental property. It's a 5th wheel located at a campground. It does not get moved. Will the RV be depreciated at 5 years or 27.5 years? I am unable to find anything giving me a for sure answer. ...

I am looking to purchase real estate for both investment purpose as well as to offset as much tax liability as possible. 

So all of the gain and depreciation recapture are initially still tax deferred.However, like Joe said, the down side is later when sold  you lose the 1031 option. the client will pay tax on all gain and depreciation recaptured from before the 1031 also. 

Most places in Ohio can be profitable rentals... if you can stomach those property taxes!

The same thing you claim on your tax return for your properties.
