  As a third-party, I can tell you that using cryptocurrency to invest in real estate can have tax implications. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, so any gains or losses from selling or exchanging cryptocurrency for real estate are subject to capital gains tax. If you hold the cryptocurrency for less than a year before using it for real estate investments, the gains will be taxed as short-term capital gains, which are usually taxed at a higher rate. On the other hand, if you hold the cryptocurrency for more than a year, the gains will be taxed as long-term capital gains, which are generally taxed at a lower rate. Additionally, if you receive rental income from the real estate investment, you will need to report it as taxable income. It's important to keep track of your cryptocurrency transactions and consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with tax laws.
