i bought a vacant lot in may 2001. In year 2002 i constructed a house as owner builder and worked myself in the project.
i sold the house in july 2003.
am i correct assuming that the profit is long term capital gain?
thanks for your help.

    You may want to get a determination from the IRS.

    In my layman's opinion, the land is a long term capital gain. The improvement (house) is a short term capital gain.
