Here’s a summary based on the responses:Tax Rates and Holding Period:For flips (properties bought, rehabbed, and sold quickly), profits are taxed as ordinary income, not capital gains.The holding period is calculated from the purchase date to the sale date.1031 Exchange:1031 exchanges apply only to properties held for investment, not quick flips.If intending to use a 1031 exchange, I must reinvest the proceeds into a like-kind property within 180 days.Holding a property for less than a year may disqualify it from 1031 eligibility due to lack of demonstrated investment intent.Thanks again for all the helpful advice!
