Residential 1031 Question

Will this work?? Any Thoughts??



1. I sell 60% of OLD Rental Unit (100% is valued at $200k) to my daughter with 100% seller financing with deed and mortgage duely recorded.



2. I then own 40% = $80000 of the OLD Rental Unit. and she owns 60% = 120000



3. My daughter and I then sell (4 months later) the OLD Rental Unit. Sale Price = $200,000



4. Disposition of Sale proceeds of the OLD Rental Unit: My daughter’s $120,000 mortgage is paid off (to me) and $80,000 goes to the 1031 accommodator for the NEW Rental Unit. (Note my basis in the OLD rental unit is $122,500)



5. We then Exercise option to purchase the NEW rental unit (under our current lease) and purchase the NEW Rental Unit - Purchase Price = $250,000 - [Financing of NEW rental unit = Daughter borrows $170,000 (mortgage) from me (I will have the cash), I take a mortgage to her 68% and $80,000 is applied by the 1031 accommodator from sale of Old Rental Unit as a down payment]. It is then rented out as follows:



68% ($170,000) = My daughter owns and she rents out to her friends = 2 bedrooms).

32% ($80000) = I own and rent to my daughter at fair market rental rate = 1 bedroom).



6. Result = 100% rental use of the NEW Rental Unit and no personal use by my daughter of her share in the property.

    The 12k per year does not go against your lifetime cap. If you go over that, you must file a gift tax return for the year of the gift. It is not taxable up to the lifetime limit.

    You guys are right on the ball. I should have said the annual gift tax exclusion was increased to $12K this year.
