If youu2019re looking for tax-avoidance strategies, you should consult a tax advisor.It is possible that such a qualified tax professional would recommend you do a like-kind exchange, where you purchase another property with the proceeds of the sale.The basis in the original property would be rolled into the new property, so youu2019re not u201cgetting outu201d of paying taxes, just deferring them.In any case, it would be irresponsible to attempt such a transaction without any further research than an anonymous answer from the internet.
