I know AR15.com is probably not the best place to ask legal or financial questions, but it’s free. If you own a house and you buy another one while you still own the first one, can you sell the first one and put the money towards the new house mortgage and not pay capital gains taxes? If it's less than $500,000 would I be able to use the  Section 121 exclusion?

Have you owned the house for more than 3 yrs and lived in it for more than 6 months each of those years(excluding military orders over seas).

If so yes, but ask a tax professional for the best answer.
