To have an exchange, both the old and new property must be held for investment or for use in a business. Thus, inventory is not exchangeable. A real estate developer generally cannot exchange something he builds for suit with the intent to sell when it is done. It's a similar case with a condominium development (although there are ways to structure). If you buy to flip--sorry. This is an intent test; there is no minimum holding period, however.
