Since you aren't sure, you will not be paying any capital gains tax on a sale. The first $250,000 in gains (not merely proceeds) are tax-free if you are single, $500k if married filing jointly.

There will be other costs involved of course, but capital gains isn't one of them.

What's the big deal? So there isn't profit being generated, but someone else is for all intents and purposes is paying your mortgage. What's bad about that?

That's only for primary residences, this is not at the moment so unless he lived there 2 of the last 5 years (may be 3 of the last 5) that's a no go.
