Dana N Johns Please advise, My mother wants to give me her house in PA Philadelphia

She wants to give me her house and move into a senior citizen home@Dana N Johns: Just a couple of thoughtsTalk to a real estate knowledgeable, CPA, not to your standard CPA and not to unknown investors on some forum in the ether for a matter like this.Now, if your mother has lived in the property for two of the last five years, she is entitled to a tax break on capital gains if she sells or if the title changes hands (basically sells using creative finance).However, if you inherit the property, there is a tax advantage to you in terms of stepped up basis and capital gains and a tax advantage to her from incurring capital gains if she is outside of the “two of the last five years” window.As far as the Medicaid situation, that is best explained by a CPA or tax attorney or Enrolled agent.

I'm a Dad to Logan 9, Lucas 6, husband to Wendy.I've spent the last 11 years as an entrepreneur in the digital marketing world, primarily focused on physical product eCommerce (I own 2 brands that operate on Etsy and Shopify), and most recently having kinda accidentally built a few 100k social media following as the Carnivore Dad.I’ve been interested in and attracted to real estate for years but I just made excuses that had me staying in my lane of digital marketing, however I'm here now and eager to learn.I settled on Texas as my primary state because I have family here, I love meat, and I’m interested in firearms.
