          Internal Revenue Code in effect for the taxable year in issue.              
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.  The          
          stipulations of facts and the attached exhibits are incorporated            
          herein by this reference. Petitioners resided in Franklin,                  
          Tennessee, at the time they filed their petition and amended                
          petition.  At all relevant times, petitioners were realtors.                
               Before the year under consideration, petitioners resided in            
          Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  There, they owned two residential rental             
          properties:  3460 North 99th Street (99th Street property) and 7643         
          West Center Street (West Center Street property).  Petitioners had          
          purchased the 99th Street property for $126,000 in July 1991 and            
          the West Center Street property for $118,500 in 1986.                       
               In 1993, petitioners moved to Franklin, Tennessee. They                
          decided to dispose of these two residential rental properties by            
          exchanging them for like-kind property pursuant to section 1031.            
          Accordingly, petitioners entered into two accommodation agreements          
          with Heritage Title Services, Inc. (accommodation agreements),              
          pursuant to which they agreed to sell the two residential rental            
          properties and purchase other qualifying like-kind property in              
          Tennessee as part of a tax-free exchange. The accommodation                 
          agreements required petitioners to identify replacement properties          
          within 45 days after the date of the closing on the two rental              
          properties and to receive the qualifying like-kind property within          
          180 days after the date of the closing on the two rental
