I just closed on my house at the end of June. Today I got a phone call from my buyers agent with a pre-offer for 30k more then I paid for the property. He has a client who is looking to get into a property with little to no fixup asap. My house is one of the only ones in the area that fits that billet within their price tag. I'd like to take them up on this. It fits right into my plan and would allow me to purchase another personal residence.
-Question is, since I just bought the property with a traditional 30 year fixed, will selling immediately hurt my chances to get another loan soon? I would try for another VA loan. I have heard banks frown on this practice, but I have not seen concrete evidence of this.
-I know the gain would be taxed like regular income, is there anyway to 1031 (or similar)this on a personal residence?
