I own a couple rental houses. I don't have a mortgage on them and I wanted to avoid paying capital gains when I sell. (I will make about 50k over purchase price) someone told me I could take a mortgage out on them before I sell them, hold the money in my bank account and then when I go to sell my "profit" would be minimal or maybe even a loss on paper. Is this legal? Can I do this?
