Someone told me to treat the transfer as 1 for 1, and then treat the 2nd lot separately as a gift donation. 

Was gifted down payment and received conventional loan.

So, if I did do it that way I would need to pay gift tax on the money he gave me for the rehab, correct?

Doing it this way allows you to ease your way in and costs you less up front - down payment for an owner-occupied property is much lower than an investment property, you may qualify for down payment assistance and can even use funds as a gift from a family member if that's an option. 

Person A did NOT file form 709 or pay any gift tax for the quit claim deed transfer.

My wife and I were gifted a .25 acre lot to build on in Lehigh Acres by her parents with the idea to build a duplex as we have no interest in living there.
