You do a 1031 exchange, buy residential properties. Rent them. After 3 years (so when you add your 2 years of residence the exchange occurred five plus years ago), move into one of the homes converting it to your principle residence. Live there for two years, sell home keeping $250K/$500K (single/married) as tax free gain. Move into the next home for two years. Keep repeating until you get money out tax free. You will have to recapture only the amounts that were depreciated for taxes.

[@BobbyMucka]

This is incorrect, the years in which the home was used for non-qualified purposes would still be subject to capital gains. For example, if you rented a property out for 6 years and lived in it for 4 years after those 6 years, you can exclude up to 40% of the capital gains up to 250k/500k, NOT 100%. So if the capital gain total was 250k exactly, you could exclude 100k (40% for the qualified period) but still need to pay taxes on the 150k (60% for the unqualified period). I hope nobody is taking tax advice from a non professional in a youtube comments section.

[@tomm8025]

@@Csharpflat5 - Incorrect. Lets be clear first, we are talking about sales of a property in America and the Federal capital gains taxes....we are not talking about the various rules state to state. You only need 2 out of the past five years as a home primary residence to qualify for the full deduction. If you lived in it for one year, then rented it for three years then moved back in and lived in it for another full year, you qualify. You can only use the exclusion once every two years. For those who keep contending otherwise, sorry, but I had my parents do exactly this to get most of their previously rental home sales tax free. Never a problem. Again, state tax may be a different issue and you need to see those rules for that state. On the other hand you can avoid much of those as well by doing a 1031 Exchange to a state that has no state personal income tax and avoid the state....unless they have a "clawback" provision such as California does.

That is not how it works. Converting a rental into primary only protects you from taxes on appreciation when it was personal use not the prior years. In this instance, he will still pay taxes on the amount is appreciated for those 22 years it was a rental.

NOBODY talks about the hassles of actually pulling a 1031 exchange. I studied it, and tried it myself. It is a big headache. Very restrictive. And there is lawyer fees, Escrow fees, and 6month window that you HAVE TO close on the next property... these are the reasons why I just paid capital gains tax and be done with it. Paid tax and invested the cash in Nasdaq ETF QQQ. in 2 years, I've made MORE than the 15% tax I paid. If you have a multi million dollar commercial building, like the one located in 1011 Reams Fleming Blvd, Franklin, TN... then 1031 exchange make sense. But for a little guys like us with cheap rental homes... just pay the tax and stay liquid. 15% tax is not too bad on a transaction where I actually made money.

If he has a good renter that pays on time, it may be worthwhile to hold onto the property. I know somebody who was in his position.

The current capital gains tax rate is 15% if your total taxable income (including the capital gain) is less than ~$440k. It’s 20% if the total income is higher than that. So in the example from this video, it’s most likely 20% However, Congress just proposed raising the 20% capital gains rate to 25% effective 9/13/21. If the bill passes, and you don’t have a binding sales contract dated prior to 9/13, the rate will be 25% on any gains realized after 9/13, if the total income is over the ~$440k threshold. They’re planning to sneak this into the $3.5T “Build Back Better” bill.

I’m thinking about selling my place and living in the rental so it becomes my residence, even though I don’t want to live there. It’s a very basic unit in a 1960s retirement neighborhood. The immediate surrounding area declined years ago and sketchy people intrude into the neighborhood, although okay areas are nearby. Then I would sell it and buy a house I want. I think I will get the capital gains exclusion on each sale. I hope I will also get to transfer the property tax basis on what was the rental to the final residence. I’m in Southern California. The other issue is the value of time. Is it wise to spend a few precious years of retirement playing chess with the taxing authorities?

@@saulgoodman2018 Sorry Saul, when I say depreciation I mean it in the tax law meaning. Not that the house is actually worth less now then it was then. When you have rental properties there is a "depreciation" schedule for the building and certain things that you get for it as well. Appliances, flooring, roof etc etc. The tax code allows landlords to deduct the "depreciation" of those things against the current years taxes. The house for example is depreciated over 27.5 years. They government get's its cut when you sell though. As the purchase price is effectively reduced to zero. So whatever you sell it for you end up paying a capital gain on all of it. As Dave mentioned a way around it is to do a 1031 exchange ( another tax code maneuver ) that allows you to continue deferring the taxes owed.

How is your prognostication working out?

[@speedneed573]

@daveharness70 I'd say I would've been right if the fed didn't step in and bail out the market how many times?... Several businesses have closed. We are currently in an economic crisis. I'd say I was close.

At the end of your life does will it really matter if you figured out a way to beat some capital gains tax? How bout just pay it and walk away with your remaining profits and enjoy life.

Well if you can’t swallow it you’ll choke.

[@janetcross2797]

You got the house for free and you are worried

[@genxx2724]

It is a responsibility, and correct decisions must be made. That’s how smart people prosper, instead of demanding handouts, resenting others, and wanting to take what they have.

So even if you’ve lived in it for the last 3 years, because you rented it out the previous 2, that makes it a rental?

[@RicketyRocket21]

Other way around. If you've lived in it for at least 2 of the last 5 years, you can exclude the first $500k of capital gains (if you're married. $250k if single)

UBI baby!!

[@Sorianbell]

So, if the dude wanted to live at that house for 4 years, he could sell without tax? Hmm… long time to wait though…

[@steveb7600]

its 2/5 years, not 4 years. You are thinking of a 121 tax exclusion

[@thetruth5635]

He’s probably in a hot neighborhood that house will jump up

[@CamperMan727]

Oops, property values did go down.

[@richardyelich4695]

Leave politics out of it. Republicans give it to the rich and take it from the middle guy.

[@Maxippouce]

The other guy shows his ignorance. He deducted the depreciation for 22 years, it is just a recapture of that depreciation and the rest is taxes because it is like an income. Nothing to do with democrats vs republicans.

[@dennishipsley8703]

There IS no capital gains tax...... according to the IRC of 1954 passed into law by the 83rd Congress taxable years ended August 16 1954!!!! Google 26 CFR 1.0-1 paragraph (d).

[@steveb7600]

try not paying taxes on your income property's sales gain and see what happens

[@cartersboxerandbulldogbabies]

Lol

[@braceyourselvesfortruth2492]

He only wants to stop being a landlord because he thought he was going to be able to cash in. Guy needs to hire a property manager, cash out refi (no taxes) and keep renting.
