State Specific Question About: VIRGINIA (VA)

Hello, I purchased the property in 1992 for 50K as a Hud foreclosure... I started to lease it out in 2003. I had done a re-finance for 75K prior to leasing it out. What is the basis for capital gains if I sell?

Also, I have a home equity line on the home. It has a zero balance. If I have to use the equity line to pay the mortgage while waiting to sell/rent... can that be deducted at the time of sale so there is less to pay in capital gains?

Thank you --216.54.x.xxx

Financing has nothing at all to do with your basis, unless of course you are depreciating the fees for the finance.

This is why I do not like to equity skim, you could owe so much on the property that you could sell and make little to no profit and still owe alot of taxes. --74.99.xxx.xxx

your basis would be purchase price + several charges incurred at closing + capital improvements done over the years.

add them up --71.230.xxx.xxx
