Rental property burned down by fire. Insurance paid for damages. He later sold property at a gain.

Involuntary conversion rules states he needs to buy a "like kind" replacement property to not recognize a gain.

Question is, does he have to put ALL the cash from this transaction into the new replacement property? Or can he not use the cash and get a mortgage instead?

Rule says the cost basis has to be higher than the old one.......Can't find anything on the use of funds.

Thanks. Not very experienced with Involuntary Conversions.
