1031 "Like-Kind exchange" is an option to defer capital gains on real property.

 

Has anyone used a 1031 to purchase another primary residence with proceeds from sale of home?   The new purchase would NOT be investment property.

When I was considering doing a 1031 exchange about ten years ago, you couldn't do that. Also, you can only have one primary residence.

@CatsyCline    I'd check with tax preparer or a well-informed local real estate broker.   The laws governing residential real estate are different from investment real estate.   And residential laws vary more state by state, so be careful about getting advice from someone you don't know.
