@Aaron Zimmerman Thank you for this guidance. It IS a rental property -- and we are not familiar with the depreciation tax at all. Are you a RE CPA?

Quote from @Dave Foster:
Hi @Tanya Maslach, Thanks for reaching out privately as well. Given the fact that you haven't owned the property very long, you're not going to have to worry about depreciation. You will be taxed as short-term capital gains, which is your regular tax bracket plus whatever your state wants.
Like @Ryan Spath said, there's no statutory holding period to do a 1031 exchange, but longer is always better. It is not that your chance of an audit is increased. 1031s are not an audit trigger. But if you're audited, a 1031 is always looked at, and you want to have a reason to demonstrate your intent to hold the property and why that intent changed.
Your tax could be as little a $ 2- 3 K. Or as much as $ 4- 5 K. If you have a target and want to reinvest, that might be worth a 1031 (costing $950). But it's also not going to kill you to take the money, pay the tax, and keep it free for any other use. Remember - no one ever went broke paying tax on profit - It just feels like it.
You are my fav Mr Foster. ;-) Just sayin'. Thank you.

Hi everyone,
We are considering a sale of a home we've owned less than 1 year.
Our question is about gains tax on a SFH that sells at or around (within $10K after sales commissions/closing) purchase price.
Does anyone know:
a. How capital gains tax in 2025 applies to a sale like this?
We were considering a 1031 but may not do that if a sale results in a same-same $ gain as the purchase.
Thank you.

You need an experienced eviction attorney. watch how he does it. Hopefully he'll know the specific laws and traps, some attorney's are pretty clueless. If you try it yourself and mess up one little thing you'll have to start all over losing months of time.
Thank you Henry. Yes we have hired an attorney to make this happen.

Thank you for both @Michael K Gallagher.
I'm not sure what you mean by "pathways" though.
