Can you BRRRR a Mobile home ? capitol gains question

Hello there BP I'm a mobile investor and wondering if it is possible to BRRRR with a mobile home. What I am really wondering is if you would get the same tax benefits after living in it for 2 years. Meaning no capitol gains tax on the profit of course. Thanks so much in advance .

BRRRR refers to a buy and hold strategy and capital gains tax is experienced when you sell a property. Can you describe what your strategy is in more detail? Those two terms seem mutually exclusive in this context.

    The two year capital gains exemption, $250k single/$500k married, only applies to real estate. Mobile homes are private property. You can make a mobile home into real estate property through affixing it to a permanent foundation, check your state and local laws on how to do this.

    @Ben Naught you don't own their mobile homes, they do. They are paying to rent a spot on the soil.
