I owned my duplex for 7 yrs. I lived in it for about 8 months and met a fella and moved in his house and rented out both apts. I live in NH. I heard if i want to get any money out of the sale of the duplex I’ll have to pay capital gains on the intire amount being it is an investment property due to me not living in it for 2 yrs. OR, I can do a 1031 exchange. I paid $85,000 7 yrs ago, owe $61,000 now. It’s on the market for $249,900 since yesterday. My friend said if I don’t want to pay big $ on capital gains I can reinvest the money on more income property. But I will have to pay 7 1/2 per cent to the state of NH for stamps ( a rip off), 5% to the real estate lady and $61,000 I still owe on it to the bank. My friend said I can deduct the stamps and RE commision .Is it true I will have to reinvest in more income property for the full sales amount? How can I buy with money I made with out a mortage? I want to buy but if i buy for full sales amount I will not be able to afford the mortage
