@Rohmah Ismael this can all be covered faster on a phone or Zoom call.DM me...

Did you inherit this home with a step up in tax basis or will you need to pay taxes on any gains if you sell?

If you have any more questions, feel free to DM me.

That was a learning experience.  

My first investment property happens to be my first home purchase, so my questions are hopefully basic for anyone experienced here.

Are there any ways to get around this?

You can also look up on top and look into the AGENTS tab to find one.

there is no bank, no mortgage, and therefore no due on sale clause.if there is a mortgage in place, and you take the payments over, this is typically referred to as subject-to or sub2 and is much higher risk for everyone involved.
