In a 1031 exchange.....
so that I do not have to pay any Capital Gains Taxes do I have to reinvest ALL of the sales proceeds in a 1031 exchange?
In other words...
If the property is sold for $400,000 and the mortgage on it is $150,000, then what is the amount that I should re- investment so I do not have to pay any Capital Gains Tax?
If the property is "sold", it does not qualify for a 1031 exchange....
In general, in order to qualify for a 1031 exchange, the property you receive should have at least the same value as the property you give up.

Here we go again. It depends on who is doing the selling - a qualified intermediary can "sell" as part of a 1031 transaction.
What exceptions are there? One is if the property still qualifies for a principal residence exemption.
Right. Technically it's considered a trade, but someone buys and someone sells, general to third persons. It's not actually what most people would call a trade.
Sort of. Technically you can qualify for a 1031 exchange even if the property you buy has a price lower than the property you sell. However you just need to recognize the difference as taxable income.
In the case of a property that can qualify for the principal residence exemption, there's still taxable income, but another exemption that applies.

AND .. not less than $250,000 [$400,000 minus the $150,000] of the "reinvestment" should be "in cash" i.e. not borrowed.
