The whining is that flipping doesn't get the highly preferential treatment that actual real estate investing gets. 

That fits the definition of property eligible for 1031 treatment and I think you've got a good case. 

I would say they have gone to the extreme now.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/leg...It should be noted the govenment charges people with organized crime and drug dealing if they knowingly rent property for drug dealing or manufacturing.

Drug abuse in this city is a growing problem and I don't really see a need for this type of housing disappearing any time soon. 

Drug dealing 4 times , assault and battery 2 times , domestic violence 4 times , IRS lien over 10K ,  failure to pay child support 10 times , and only 1 Failure to pay rent .  

Death, divorce, disinterest, drug use, default....woo-hoo!

Hi,My question is:Do I have to supply window treatments (blinds, verticals, etc) in my rental or is it up to the tenant?

Another example, by observation, can a CPA determine whether millwork qualifies for accelerated depreciation treatment?

(vandalism and destruction vs drug dealing and prostitution)Is someone currently living there?

@Martinis Jackson, if you bought that property with the primary intent of reselling (flipping) then it does not qualify for 1031 treatment.
