Is there an alternative to 1031 exchange?

Does a 1031 exchange expire?
In this example, your 1031 exchange is beginning in once tax year but potentially won’t be completed until after a new tax year begins. Otherwise, the exchange will end on the date your tax return is due. However, there’s no rule that says you have to wait the entire 180 days to purchase your replacement property.
Can I use 1031 exchange to pay off mortgage?
Generally, no, you can not sell real property (“relinquished property”) and defer the payment of your depreciation recapture and capital gain income taxes by structuring a 1031 exchange by building on real property that you already own or by paying off the mortgage on the property.
What happens if a 1031 exchange fails?
The advice is generally that your 1031 Exchange has failed and will not qualify for tax-deferred exchange treatment; in short, it’s taxable. You can dispose of one or more relinquished properties and acquire one or more replacement properties as part of a single 1031 Exchange transaction.
Can you sell a 1031 exchange property to a family member?

How many 1031 exchanges can you do?
A 1031 exchange is a swap of properties that are held for business or investment purposes.

If used correctly, there is no limit on how many times or how frequently you can do 1031 exchanges.
Can you do a 1031 exchange for a second home?
A second home or a vacation home held strictly for personal use with no rental activity at all is considered a second home, and does not qualify for the tax deferral benefits of a Section 1031 exchange. Section 1031 non-recognition treatment is not available because the property has been held solely for personal use.
What qualifies for a tax free exchange?
The exchange allows for the deference of any taxable gains on the property that is first sold. The replacement property must be secured, and the exchange finalized no later than 180 days after the sale of the original asset.
