Flipping and 1031 exchanges (archive links broken) - Posted by Richard

Hi,
I was trying to do the research in the archives, but every link is broken and doesn’t work.
My questions is - is it possible to flip houses with 1031 exchanges.
What are the pros and cons to this.
Thank you.
Richard

Because if you flip houses, then you’re a dealer and
there are 3 things dealers are not allowed to do by IRS code. One of which is do section 1031 exchanges.

Richard:
The long and short of it is, you’ll have to hold it for a while, at least a year or two, so a quick buy and a quick flip via a 1031 is out.
These are requirements for 1031 deferred exchanges. But if you’re clever enough to structure a simultaneous exchange, these requirement does not apply.
