This only delays taxes, it does not erase them. The only ways to avoid taxes are either to not make any money or the put the funds into an investment that has a tax exemption. If you are really asking if there is a way you can keep the cash without paying taxes, the primary residence sale is the only one I know of, but you can be sure its as little as the government thinks it can get away with.

When selling property there are all kinds of fees and capital gains also transfer taxes. How can one save on these fees besides a 1031 exchange. Any other ways of offsetting these taxes? IRAs gifts school fees?
Looking for ways to hold the profit any help would be great.
