1031 into an existing property?

Newbie Starting out here:

Our plan is to buy investment property/ rental, then the next property (5-8 months) would be a flip. How is the flip profit taxed? I thought a 1031 is needed and then if possible to but that profit back into the first rental just to pay down the mortgage.

How does this work?

@Todd Kendrick,

Sometimes it's a lack of cash and the need to keep the pipes primed more quickly but no cash to do so.

Sometimes it's because it is a job for them.  and they need the liquidity to live on as well.

Sometimes it's just because we've also got a little adrenaline freak flag that needs to fly and be satisfied once in a while with a good feeling fix and flip!

And sometimes it's just because nobody explained to them what the difference could be delaying and taking advantage of 1031 exchanges..
