Hello All! 

I have recently bought a house in January 2016 but am considering taking a job offer that would force me to relocate. If I sell this house I will profit, but how can I avoid taxes on this profit? I plan to rent while I get situated at the new place so no plans to buy in the short term.  Can you please advise me couple options on how to avoid capital gain tax?  Do I need to fill out a 1031 exchange and defer the tax on the profit?  I'm not a flipper; however, I read this blog.
