@Chad McIver You gains are not "capital gains" rather they will be treated as ordinary income, meaning they will be taxed at your marginal tax rate.The tax law basically states that if you purchase an investment with the intent to hold either for cash flow or appreciation, then profits on sale will be treated as capital gains and taxed at the capital gains rate.But since you are flipping a house, you did not intend to hold it, and will therefore be treated as inventory and taxed at your marginal rate.Also, as far as I know, you cannot roll over your gains on a house you did not intend to hold as an investment (i.e. a house you flipped).

This was a trick another investor used and talked about during the REI expo last year in order to increase the response rate, which it did.

A little oversimplified, but that's the basics of the process we follow.
