Capital gains question - selling rental property
Hello all, Quick question for you "experts" here. I have a rental property in GA that I'm looking to sell.
I've owned it since 2004, when i paid $200k for a brand new home. I have rented it out since 2016. My mortgage balance is $70k and I have an offer from current tenants to sell at $228k. My profit will be roughly $158k.
Do I pay capital gains on this rental if my net profit is less than what i purchased the home for ?
Thanks , Mark
