Need help with a big tax question
Hey guys have a quick question about selling a refinanced building
*not the exact numbers at all*
Lets say I buy a property for 100k (20% down), put 50k (cash) into it. now Im "150k" in or 70k of my own cash in.
the thing appraises for 400k by my bank and I do a cashout refinance at 75% LTV
so now Ive pulled 220k from the cashout refinance (300-80 I still owe) and I buy some other buildings with that 220k. now I owe 300k on the building and have 100k "equity" in it.
Finally lets say I sell this building for 380k. and basically come out with 80k.
now for tax purposes, did I technically make money or lose money? since I basically bought it for 150k and in the end sold it for 380k does that mean I made 230k?
or does it mean I made a LOSS since it's under the 400k I refinanced it for.
thanks!
