To perform a 1031 exchange would cost your 700 - 1000,  For your accountant to fill out the form 8824 reporting the 1031 would be another $125 - $500.

Most of them seem to want to use a debit card rather than their routing and account number for automatic withdrawal. 

Assuming you get a P&L share it with your accountant.

A 1031 is very easy to understand and most can be found online for free or through a phone call to your accountant or a friend who's an accountant.
