How does a 1031 exchange work in California?

A 1031 exchange in California works like this—you sell an investment property and reinvest the money into another “like-kind” property, and you don’t pay capital gains tax right away. The key is timing. You’ve got 45 days to find the new property and 180 days to close on it. The property has to be for investment or business use—so your personal home doesn’t count. Also, you have to use a qualified intermediary to hold the money during the swap; you can’t touch it yourself. I came across ALT Financial Network, Inc. when I was digging into 1031 exchange California, and they had some helpful resources on the process.

The key here is this. Is the second purchase your PRIMARY residence? If you live in the home 24/7...not a vacation home...you use this address for your mail and primary residence, then it IS your primary residence. That fulfills the obligation in the rules for the tax credit.

If you travel the states for 2 years do you need to change your auto insurance in each state or do you continue to use your original insurance?

You are required to maintain your auto insurance in your state of primary residence. It will follow you when you travel or visit other states. The key here is "Residence". If you take up residence in any of the states that you travel too, then you are required to notify your insurer and change your insurance within 30 days of taking up residence. You are also required to obtain a drivers license in your new state of residence within 30 days.
