Can you do a1031 exchange on a flip?

[Eli Gilbert]

I am new to this and have heard of the 1031 being used to avoid paying taxes!

Can you put profits from a flip, (which is usually considered capital gains), into a 1031 to avoid taxes?

Essentially this question doesn’t make sense, because the idea of flipping is for short term money now, etc, however I am asking if I can 1031 into a primary residence, thereby skipping tax season!?

Lol

You can’t do 1031 on flips. 

Even if it was in non flips (investment), you cant do 1031 to primary.
