If you want to effectively end the 1031 cycle of madness, there is a way. All you have to do is live in the house for 2 years. Then you can sell it and keep up to $500,000 of the gains (if married, $250k if single) tax-free. This is how many people live tax free. They buy properties using 1031 exchanges, then live in them tax-free for 2 years. Sell the house and keep all the profit tax free.
