What ????? This is still America isn't it ? I know things are changing all over the country so fast now it makes your head spin, but give a developer money you gained by selling YOUR HOME that is in YOUR name and pay your taxes on...... what ???
The rule has been in effect for a long time. There have been times in the country when people were buying new houses and selling them for a profit before they were even built. The developer's "no profit within a year" rule prevents that type of speculation, which is not good for a stable market. I think it is a reasonable rule.
