ARM refinance may be required to lock in your mortgage rate. It depends on the type of ARM (adjustable rate mortgage) you hold.

Use seller financing to save your capital gains tax exemption if your buyer is having trouble getting conventional financing. To qualify for a capital gains tax exemption you must fit under certain guidelines, like how long you have lived in the home as your primary residence.

If you can't or don't want to go down the route of seller financing, you can also consider a 1031 exchange (tax deferred exchange or Starker Trust) or an installment purchase.
