Junior Cordova
Posted

Hello so i’m new to investing and real estate, I bought a primary resident that ive been living in for the past 19 months. I have been looking to sell in order to upgrade. My property has gained 100k in value since living in it. If i for sale by owner do i have to pay taxes on the sale?

Yes, you will pay taxes. If possible, please wait for 24 months, then sell. There is no capital gain then. 

You might qualify for a partial 121 exemption (still avoid 100% of taxes) if you are selling because of health, work, unforeseen circumstances, and such.
