No such thing as "short-term real estate gains." You either have flips or rentals. Capital gains, both long-term or short-term, apply ONLY to rentals, not to flips. Same for any tax strategy that deals with capital gains, including installment sales and 1031 exchanges: they apply to rentals, not to flips.

Despite the fact that you cannot put the entire amount into a retirement account, what would be the point of it even if you could? You're doing flips to either generate spendable income or to generate capital for further investments. Locking up your profits in a retirement account would be the opposite of it. (Yes, there're self-directed retirement accounts, but it's a different conversation.)

Bottom line: flipping business is highly taxed, and there're limited ways to reduce these taxes, and practically no way to eliminate it completely. 


Thanks Michael. Yes, I was referring to self-directed IRA possibilities.

Hi everyone,

From what I understand about short-term real estate gains, a way to avoid them is to buy another and do a 1031. Are there other ways to shelter the gains from tax? The amount will be between $30-40k in gains. Would it be possible to open a self-directed IRA for funding deals in the future and not have to pay taxes if I put it in an IRA, assuming I could put the entire amount in it? Just wondering if there are any other options besides having to buy another property.

Commercial DSCR loans that are made to an LLC only require 90 days of seasoning to complete a cash out refi IF the property is currently mortgaged. (6 months if you bought with cash) The rates & closing cost are higher BUT you don't have to deal with this 12 month seasoning period, you wont be asked for a tax return, no one is looking at DTI or employment. The entire process is MUCH easier and close time are typically under 30 days, start to finish.


 Matthew, 

Thank you for your reply. Stupid question, will I need to have a signed lease first before doing a DSCR cash out refi?

OK, so attempt to get the refi and cash out prior to listing it to avoid any issue with list price hindering the LTV amount. I did not think about that and it is very helpful. Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I'm sure this topic has been addressed several times but it seems I keep getting different answers when talking with different lenders vs. what I've read online. 


I am rehabbing a property and would like to consider cash-out refinancing after renting it. The lenders I speak with say that cannot be done until 12 mos of ownership and the refi would be based on the original purchase price. 

Is the new rule that you cannot cash-out refi until 12 mos, or does it vary by lender? If it varies by lender and I can find one that would do it after 6 mos for example, would their rates be exorbitant?
