Looks more complicated than I thought. My intentions is to flip the house as soon as possible, and I thought that selling the house and use the money to reinvest it will be enough to avoid capital gains. Thank you for your response. I will look into it.
It’s taxed as ordinary income, plus ss/med self employment tax....not eligible for a 1031 or cap gains.
