If I do a complete BRRRR, and retain equity after the refi, then decide to sell before the 1 year mark, will I be subject to short term capital gains tax?

Hi everyone thanks for the replies.

Open a conversation and listen before offering to pay thousands of dollars.John,Thanks for the reply. 

Thank you for your reply!

@Eric StifflerThere is no simple answer to your question and, more importantly, no consensus.As you have seen from the non-CPA replies, all investors are indignant that they are entitled to such deductions because "it is business."

Thanks for the reply!

I appreciate the reply and the resources you sent me to.  

@Irving Garcia, I also live in San Diego and love to brainstorm and seek opportunity for a ground up new construction, which is fiercely competitive now days and challenging with an uptick in material cost and scarcity, but a firm believer of old saying “there is way when there is a Will”,,,, I knew of an opportunity in Old Del Mar, just the beginning of the year, that a house with 1,100 SF’ building on an approximately 9,000 SF’ land sold for $2.375m that after demolishing the building could build up to 4,000 SF’ and and potentially sell for $1800 per SF,, although very lengthy and challenging project going through city and coastal permits but at the end leaves respectable margins!

@Erickson Sainval thank you for your reply and feedback.

@Mason Hickman Thanks for the reply!
