If I sell a current rental property, can I use the proceeds to pay off another rental that I own? Is that consistent with the spirit of the 1031 exchange? I also am the sole stockholder of a C corp that has accumulated about $600K in loan to shareholder over several years. Does it make sense to "sell" the rental property to the C corp or otherwise transfer the property to pay back some of the loan to shareholder? It would be about $500K. I know it's sort of a simple question without all corporate tax information, but if I do that, is capital gains avoided for me personally, and is that a sound way to reduce the loan amount? What taxes would the C corp pay at the point in time when the property is sold? And is there any holding time for a sale or can the C corp sell the property in a matter of months?
