Allstate quoted me $3600 for a replacement value of 380k, for a property that will likely close at 50k!

If you withdraw your original $50K down payment instead of rolling it into the exchange, the IRS treats it as a taxable gain, even though it’s your initial investment.To access equity without triggering taxes, consider:A cash-out refinance before selling—refinancing the duplex lets you pull cash out tax-free while still rolling all sale proceeds into the 1031 exchange.Completing the 1031 exchange first, then doing a cash-out refinance on the replacement property to access funds later.If you take the $50K at closing, expect to pay capital gains tax on that amount.
