@Alfredo CoriaThere is a little confusion on what is trying to be communicated by your accountant unless he is doing it 100% wrong.You are eligible to write off expenses as they relate to your rental.

But a 1031 exchange where you replace that real estate with other investment real estate (of any type or passive or active) allows you to indefinitely defer all tax on gain and recapture of depreciation.In your case with the right replacement you could turn this sale into a completely tax deferred sale that also reduces your net loan liabilities personally, provides income for you, and adds depreciable basis for you to write off. 

But this is a great time to get it in writing.
