San Diego Real Estate Investing

/ / Published in Uncategorized

“Hi Gary. I have a question about real estate investing. Can you buy and flip fixer uppers doing a 1031 exchange?”

***ANSWER:
No.

If you buy a property and sell it a short time later without renting it, the IRS considers it “dealer property” and it’s not eligible for a 1031 exchange.

Please verify with your tax professional.
