How much of the $226,000 capital gain ($326,00 minus $100,000) was due to the inflation over that years since 1994.According to an internet search, between 1994 and 2019 there has been 73.1% inflation, therefore of the $226,000 capital gain, $165,206 was due to inflation, and leaving $60,794 as "pure" capital gains minus inflation. 

I also was concerned that since their share of utilities/internet etc is included in the payments they send me, that I would pay income taxes on what is going toward those expenses.For context:Mortgage: $1100Cost of mortgage plus utilities: $1500Roommate 1 rent: $450Roommate 2 rent: $400My share: $650 (because I take the master suite)My brother is living with me while he tries to get on his feet in a new city, I don't exactly charge him rent but he gives me $300/month voluntarily out of appreciation, and the plan is for him live here permanently and formally pay rent (a higher amount) once he sells his out-of-state property.

DONT BORROW MONEY ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!

We would love to work with you on anything we can help with as well as share info that we have gathered from the internet and the network we have been expanding for the last couple months.

Our economic system is complex, my suggestion is to learn as much about it from primary sources and listen to people on the internet as little as possible. 

Are you affiliated with your local chamber of commerce?

I have done some internet search but I am not sure how credible they are.  

@Jennifer White nothing.Educate yourself and you will not have surprises.And I am not talking about only through the internet and podcasts, buy books about RE and read them all, I’ve read like 5-6 books before my first deal, you wont have much surprises after.

If it's $500-700 you'll likely have to do it for them because they don't know how to use the internet.
