Business & farm

I'm not sure I agree with @AmyC .  

Based on the limited facts, you indicate that you started an LLC to flip houses.  This to me indicates that this is a trade or business; a dealer in real estate.

If that in fact is the case, your houses do not qualify as a capital asset and in fact become inventory.

That means, upon sale, the house will generate ordinary income regardless of how long you held it.
