@Adam FrancoFlips are recorded at your regular income tax rate, subject to self-employment tax.You figure out your final cost basis (purchase, rehab, insurance, property taxes, financing, permit fees, commissions, utilities, etc.) and the difference between the sales price and the final cost basis is the profit made that will be taxed as ordinary income.You should speak with a CPA to help organize things and try to minimize the tax impact.

It’s probably not an issue if you only have a few properties, but as you grow it’ll get harder/more inconvenient.

It sounds to me like you're looking to grow your real estate sales business. 

I know Cartersville has a lot of new construction and is definitely starting to grow more!

Invest in growing areas, working class properties with value add.

A business expense is defined by it's nature of being ordinary and necessary, not by how you hold the asset.

What made you go commercial, and grow to the level that you are at? 

If you can work for free or cheap for an experienced investor or professional and in the process acquire tons of knowledge, you will build the foundation needed to grow in the future.

@Caleb Heimsoth good point, I see the value in doing it on occasion or like you said if it's a property you don't want to hang onto but the people who think they will grow an empire without huge marketing budgets seem to be spinning their wheels while wasting money.I love how @Jay Hinrichs almost always tells them to get a real estate license and be a realtor.

I have spoken with a few people I work with who have had primary residences that they have turned into rentals. 2 of the 3 have had major issues, one to include a marijuana grow in the basement.
