He did avoid the taxation by this method; however, the 1031 properties were also bought during the peak, have depreciated, suffer vacancies in the current market, and are at this point negatively cash flowing.

@Alan Dolling, sell it and either rent or downsize.They are suffering financially and that equity is locked up in the house with them unable to use it.

You can't hide growing, a plant or a couple but growing any volume not easy to hide.

Never fool with sewage treatment plants and parks on their own well are soon going to be a royal pain with new EPA water testing regs coming out.

My heart still going out to all those who may suffer.
