The calculation involves:Selling Price: $1,075,000Original Purchase Price: $355,000Depreciation Recapture: $105,300 (taxed at 25%)Capital Gains: Sale price minus original cost, minus depreciation, minus selling costs (~15-20% federal capital gains rate for their income bracket).State Taxes: Since the property is in California, state capital gains taxes will also apply.Given the multiple layers, I’d highly recommend your parents work with both a CPA experienced in real estate and a qualified intermediary for the 1031 if they choose that route.If you need recommendations for professionals in Illinois or California, feel free to ask!

However, the current market environment with relatively very high interest rates (7.37x increase of the 10-year treasury in 40 months from 2020-2024), and the slow recovery coming out of the Pandemic for the city make this a great opportunity to do just that, with many positive market factors on the horizon.In my opinion, right now is a great time to purchase a value add multifamily asset at an attractive basis, refinance in the coming years as we are now moving into a falling rate environment, receiving your tax-free refinance proceeds from the forced appreciation coming from renovations, the spike in market rent growth, lower vacancy, and compressing cap rates during the stabilization period, The macro factors for the DC Metro and for multifamily overall should contribute to a multifamily asset in the area being a safe and lucrative long-term investment as well.Other Notable Developments in the D.C.
