Mr. and Mrs. Ricardo owns a vacation home in Cape Cod. They used this vacation home during the summer and rent the property to a family friend for 10 days out of the year. They purchased it 20 years ago for $250,000, spend $100,000 in renovation, and wants to exchange this property for a different vacation home in Miami Beach. This vacation home have been appraised for $850,000. Issues 1. What is code section relating to the possibility to defer any realized gain if an exchange of property transaction had occur? 2. Does the Cape Cod vacation home qualified as an investment property? 3. If it does not qualified as an investment property, what can Mr. and Mrs. Ricardo do to meet for the rule for §1031? Conclusions 1. According to the US
Internal Revenue code Section 1031, in order to defer any realized gain of a like-kind exchange, a vacation home will be qualified as held for investment if you own it for minimum of 24 months immediately before the exchange and you must rent it out for the fair market value and for more than 14 days in a year. 2. The Cape Cod vacation home does not qualified as an investment property as they have only rented out for 10 days to their family friend during the year, which is less than the 14 days rule, and they have used it primary during the summer. 3. To meet the rule of §1031 exchange, Mr. and Mrs. Ricardo will need to rent out their Cape Cod vacation home for more than 14 days each year and for a minimum of 24 months. During those two years, they will need to limit their personal use during the year to be less than 14 days per year. All rental income will need to be reported on the schedule E of their form 1040. Once the two years have been completed, they may exchange Cape Code vacation home for a property in Miami Beach, however, after the exchange they need to hold the Miami property for a minimum of 24 months and rent it out for a fair market value and rent it for more than 14 days.

The Crusades of the middle ages introduced much innovative and formerly unheard of merchandise into Western Europe; however the scarcity of these luxury goods instilled Europeans with drive to find easier access to the Far East. Although desired "Northwest Passage" never was found, joint-stock companies, like the Virginia Company of London, settled colonies in the New World for untapped resources such as silver and other tradable goods. Many more corporations followed suit, settling mainly in the Chesapeake Bay area, their small settlements eventually developing into the Chesapeake colonies. The Chesapeake colonies were focused primarily on profitable enterprises. At the same time, the New England colonies were being settled with a whole different set of initiatives, principally religious freedoms and family. Governing bodies were established, with their success dependent on the quality of the settlers the colony attracted. The different motives for settlement affected the routine events in such a way that the New England and Chesapeake colonies differed very greatly from one another even though they were both mainly settled by the English.
The Crucible is set in 1600’s Salem, Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was the second colony established in the new world, forming in 1629. Puritans sought a new place where they could establish more religious freedom than England and could purify themselves from Catholicism. The Massachusetts Bay colony was eventually settled by a Puritan company by the name of Massachusetts Bay Company, which was a joint stock company that was given a royal charter by King Charles I. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was quickly established as a theocratic government with John Endecott as the first governor.
During the 1600's, many people in the American colonies led very many different lives, some better than others. While life was hard for some groups, other colonists were healthy and happy. Two groups that display such a difference are the colonists of New England and Chesapeake Bay. New Englanders enjoyed a much higher standard of living. This high standard of New England's was due to many factors, including a healthier environment, better family situation, and a high rate of reproduction.
During the 1700's, people in the American colonies lived in very distinctive societies. While some colonists led hard lives, others were healthy and prosperous. The two groups who showed these differences were the colonists of the New England and Chesapeake Bay areas. The differentiating characteristics among the Chesapeake and New England colonies developed due to economy, religion, and motives for colonial expansion. The colonists of the New England area possessed a very happy and healthy life. This high way of living was due in part to better farming, a healthier environment, and a high rate of production because of more factories. The colonists of the Chesapeake Bay region, on the other hand, led harder lives compared to that of the colonists of New England. The Chesapeake Bay had an unhealthy environment, bad eating diets, and intolerable labor.
When working within the realm of real estate, flipping houses is one of the most lucrative projects one can undertake. The premise of this idea is buying a home in need of repair, renovating it, and selling it at its newly appraised value. In high school, I worked alongside my mother to renovate a home in our small town of Trinidad, Colorado. The invaluable lessons I learned throughout this business venture gave me insights into the inner workings of house flipping. What I gained from this experience will lead to better decision making if I choose to take on another project. With a $150,000 budget, the most important aspects to focus on in a renovation would include updating appliances, applying fresh paint, installing proper flooring, and revamping the exterior. Assuming that the home being foreclosed on costs $110,000, I would allocate $20,000 of my budget for renovation expenses. This leaves a $20,000 buffer to be used as an emergency fund.
America. In 1607, a group of merchants, known as the Virginia Company, settled at Jamestown, Virginia on the Chesapeake Bay (Divine, 72); while Puritan leader John Winthrop, stationed himself and his followers at Massachusetts Bay in 1630. (Divine, 90) Although both settlements started off relatively the same, the greater success of one over the other has caused continuous debates between many, including the descendants of these early Americans. Some might argue that the Virginia Colony was more successful than the Massachusetts Bay Colony because of the Virginia colonists’ motivation and interest in profit (Divine, 76). However, when efforts for income proved futile, this and survival became the colony's only interests. Therefore, Massachusetts proved itself to be the stronger colony and the most successful, as a result of its community development and social advancement, its economic growth, and the positive influence the government had on the Massachusetts Colony.
Introduction The Chesapeake Bay is a large estuary located on the east coast of the United States. The bay is over 200 miles long and goes through Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. The bay has much to offer the locals. Many locals have made a career out of harvesting the bay's sea food.

"Usually, if you buy a project, you are going to buy it before development starts or after it is complete. We had a property that we needed to sell, and we used the proceeds from that sell in a 1031 exchange. We found two other properties that we purchased, but this one fit right in as far as the location we were looking for and the dollar amount we needed to spend," says Denton.
Section 1031 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. § 1031) states the recognition rules for realized gains (or losses) that arise as a result of an exchange of like-kind property held for productive use in trade or business or for investment. It states that none of the realized gain or loss will be recognized. It also states that losses cannot be deducted.
