These benefits fall into five main categories – Depreciation, Cost-Segregation, Passive Income Tax Treatment, 1031 Like-Kind Exchanges, and Death.

I have my first mortgage with with WF and was attracted by their one year fixed rate, but everyone I speak to at their branches or 1800 number seems completely unfamiliar with the concept of a 2-4 unit home.I know WF does HELOCs on rental properties, but I was wondering if anyone has had experience with their treatment of 2-4 unit owner occupied homes.

It sounds like your time horizon window is long and that would qualify  you for 1031 treatment.  

Property that qualifies for 1031 treatment is property that you purchased with the intent to hold for productive use in trade business or for investment.  

Magically, you start getting preferential treatment and pricing when you keep using and sending them business.

Hi @Aashiq Dheeraj, There is no specific or required holding period in order to qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment.

Hello everyone,I'm seeking opinions on the tax treatment of remodeling in certain situations.

@Susan Vanderburgh, Unfortunately, properties that are required with the intent to rehab and then immediately sell or flip do not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment.

Property you purchase primarily to fix n flip does not qualify for 1031 treatment.

Then can paint the place, do some window treatments and it will likely go fast at that point.
