I don't think it would work either; otherwise, wouldn't people have requested stock certificates in March of 2000 and plunked them down for mansions and dodged the 28% capital gains. Or wouldn't others have bought with appreciated paintings, classic cars, etc. No, I think you can only swap property for property (within limitations). Somehow the builder has to come up with an accounting for tax purposes and so would have to have a valuation of the "good and valuable consideration" of your payment.
