Down payment of $75k and improvements/furniture of around $40k.Would love to hear your guys thoughts on this!

I'm trying to confirm my understanding of a less straight forward capital gains scenario than the one-time purchase and sale most deals involve.Essentially 100% interest in a condo was acquired over time, as each joint tenant passed away, leaving 1 sole tenant who gained full ownership by rights of survivorship.I've gotten differing opinions from different professionals and am trying to understand the calculation of the basis and the final capital gains  tax that would be due myself so I can spot bad advice and understand deals.Assumptions:A condominiumNo depreciation has ever been taken by any owner.No 1031 exchange.No expenses or improvements.

[Sale Price - (Original Purchase Price + Improvements) = Gain] In order to benefit from the $250k exemption, must be primary residence, lived in 2 out of the last 5 years, can use this once every 2 years.Looks like there's no capital gains Tax in Washington.

I was told it would take 4-6 months at most for a payout..I have over $1000.00 invested and am on a fixed income was just trying to improve my financial situation.

Some have sealed batteries and some are replaceable.

I hope things start improving here in Davenport, my goal isn't to trash our city...

They would need to make "improvements" to the property, wheel chair ramp, handicap accessible showers, etc.

I have found that making property improvements does more to increase the rental pool than lowering standards. post a picture of the kitchen.

With minimal improvements, we successfully sold the home the same day for $45,000, demonstrating our ability to capitalize on fast transactions and strong market demand.
