You should know the rules inside out or be working with the professionals that know it.Incorrect moves can result in not only a taxable event to you but to your investors.Based on your most recent response, i do not think you have a good understanding of1) requirements of the QOF(You may need to substantially improve a property)2) How long you need to hold a property before it can be sold to exclude the gain3) Inside basis vs outside basisBest of luck
