I am selling a rental property I have had for 25 years and would like to apply the proceeds to another rental property that I have had for 20+ years. Can the proceeds from one be applied to the mortgage of the other to avoid paying Capital Gains? thx

    No.  The only way you can defer the gain on the sale of a rental (investment) property is to do a 1031 Exchange, which requires purchasing a new investment property.  For more information see the following TurboTAx Help Article:  What is a like-kind (Section 1031) exchange?
