We had to enter in holding costs, holding time (time value of the money), ARVs, rehab costs, a contingency reserve (a little extra to cover unforseen stuff), a reasonable profit margin, etc to get to a "Strike Price" as we call it.

While it will not reduce the actual cost it will help with the monthly cash flow.I am curious if this was a single-family house converted into a double.

Because flips are considered inventory (not capital assets), profits will be taxed as ordinary income rather than qualifying for long-term capital gains treatment.For tax filing:Report expenses like construction costs, permits, and interest as part of your cost of goods sold (COGS)—these won’t be deductible until the property is sold.Since no revenue is expected in 2024, your S-corp may show a loss, but that loss won’t reduce personal taxable income until the sale occurs.Each partner will receive a Schedule K-1 every year, including 2024 and beyond, as long as the S-corp remains active.Unlike an LLC, S-corp shareholders do not pay self-employment tax on their share of profits.

This is the reason I made this post.
