Investors & landlords

@ED_12 

 

You (and your partner) need to determine how you are going to treat this asset. 

 

If your intent was to flip the property (i.e., that is the purpose of your business), then the property is inventory and the loss is ordinary.

 

If you treat the property as a capital asset (e.g., an investment or rental property that you intended to hold long-term), then the loss would be a capital loss.
