Ah - the old addage that we all cannot avoid death and taxes, although there is a real estate strategy that can assist you in deferring your capital gains payment through what is known as the Starker Exchange or the 1031 exchange. This tax strategy can only be used if your property is NOT your primary residence (used as an income property). Each persons financials are so individual that the best advice is that you contact a CPA specializing in real estate or a real estate tax attorney. You will find several in San Francisco who may be able to provide you with written general information, even by e-mail. I find them quite accessible and helpful when called upon. Your realtor should be able to assist you with these contacts and be working to find answers to your questions and connect you with the right resource.
