Doesnt matter how large or small the amount or gift is.

A huge mistake sometimes people make is they gift their properties to their kids right before they die to try and avoid probate.

What if a property was gifted to me via quit claim.

Where I come from (not USA), a maximum of 25% tax on your PROFIT, regardless of your other income, would be considered a gift (almost).

One option would be to provide a gift certificate of some kind.  

Your IRA cannot accept the property from you as a gift, transfer, sale, etc.

I had never heard of being taxed on a gift (silly me). 

@Keith AndrewsGain = her share of sale price less her basis.It looks like received her basis in 2008 when it was "gifted" to her.You should consult to see what her basis is.You may want to see if you can invest the proceeds into a qualified opportunity fund to potentially defer the taxes.

You could even get the 20% gift up-front as long as it’s more than 2 months before you start applying for a loan.

Additional labor costs should be expected for any set up like cement floating or installation of hardi backer (cement board, etc) as well as additional labor costs for intricate layouts or details like metal edging or bull nosing stone.
