Honolulu 2nd Home Seller?

I received an email update from Cindy Naito, of First American Exchange Company, regarding the tax treatment of a second or vacation home. Goods news. Until now it was generally understood that a seller could not use an IRC Section 1031 Exchange to defer the capital gains tax on the sale. Based on this update, it appears you may be able to qualify for 1031 treatment! Given the number of second and vacation home owners in Honolulu, this is a terrific idea. NOTE, IF YOU HAVE A VACATION HOME AND ARE THINKING ABOUT USING A 1031 TAX DEFERRED EXCHANGE AS A PART OF A SALE, GET ADVICE FROM YOUR OWN TAX EXPERT TO DETERMINE IF YOU QUALIFY.

I have a second home and have been told in the past that second homes qualify. It would be a real bummer if they didn't.

I have had somebody buy a second home on a 1031 exchange.  Great advice to check with an expert.
