I think capital gains taxes should be sky high on real estate if owned for less than a year.
Like 90% tax on any profit from a sale owned less than one year.
Only problem, is that house flippers are also the only ones you can rehab old POS falling down shacks I to a saleable and occupiable house. So many houses near where I live have been rehabbed from a teardown into a usable house.
Maybe exempt if the purchase price was a certain amount below the average for the market.
Like if the price per sq. ft / acre of the house was 75% of market average when purchased it's exempt, that way the houses that really need to be repaired and fixed with get the attention they need to keep them in the market.
Then people can't just buy a house, slap a coat of paint on it and some new counters then sell for $100k over the purchased price 6 months later.
