What is the phrase when you need to purchase a piece of real estate "same like "?

Otherwise you will be taxed on how much the first one has gained in value if you inherited it. Please give me a web I can use to read up on it

Thanks

    You are referring to a 1031 Exchange where you must replace the first property with a 2nd one which is of the same type. This is only available on "income" properties; not on your personal residence.

    Originally if you sold a hotel, you had to buy the "same like" hotel. This was later expanded to include any investment property. You can sell a hotel and buy an office building.

    Any of the major title companies will have 1031 information on their websites. www.firstam.com (i don't work for them)..
