Role-playing.     . you paid $300k 10 years ago, it’s worth $660k, (so when you sell you net $600k to make math easy.)and your cpa determined that you owned zero land, so it’s all depreciatable. you owe 15% on the $300k gain plus 25% tax on $109k depreciation recapture, so you owe $70k in federal taxes, then California reaches out for another $30k?

This brings a much greater liability into play, and in my opinion provides greater balance.Is this offering the best “deal” for a passive investors?  

Here is the how I would explain it to a kindergartner:The true power of a 1031 exchange is the ability for an investor to meet their investment objectives without losing equity to taxation.With more money they can buy larger, multiple, or more productive properties.What is the alternative?

I was skeptical but after seeing one go through the net I realize how powerful and legitimate all of this is.

If your land can sustain a data center (power requirements are huge) then the land would sell for a pretty penny.
