How Can I Lower Taxs On Spec Home Profits.

I’m a new spec home developer/builder in Los Angeles. I will completing my second home in May of this year. Hopefully it will sell for $2.5m with about 1m profit. How can I stop the Fed’s from taking a big chunk of my profit in taxes.??? Below are listed a few ideas, will any of them work?.

I refi’ed my house several times taking equity from it to live on during the past 2 years to tune of $400K, could I pay back these loans out of the $1m profit and not have to pay tax on the $400K of the $1m profit?

OR can I take the $1m profits invest in another development project and not have to pay tax?

Or can I put the $1m - in a trust to lower taxes? (if I put it in a trust I need to have access to the funds it to build other projects and have funds for living)

Or is there any way through a corp, investments or whatever to greatly reduce or eliminate taxes on the $1m profit????.

Any feed back would be appreciated, thanks.....

    You should be asking your CPA these questions. These numbers are too big to trust to an anonymous web forum response.
