It is not that you are not taxed on the inherited house, it is that you receive the house at today's value.

Newly renovated home that host traveling professionals and now student housing.

(They have the deferred maintenance you'd expect after a fixed income senior lived in them for several years, plus smokers, pets)So how do I turn 5 straggling houses into a proper real estate portfolio and well-managed rental business?
