All mortgages contain a “due on sale clause” which states that the lender may, at its option accelerate (call note due) if a transfer of the property securing the note takes place.

Hey team,I’ve put an offer on a property that has had a section 8 tenant for the last 8 years. The numbers with my offer will yield excellent returns. Current rent is  $797. After checking the local housing authority ...

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Sale price: $268,000 I bought my first house in Kalispell Montana as a long term investment and possibly a rental.

What are the tax ramifications of a sale, if any?

Putting that amount into it will only increase the loss.
