Will there actually be a gain after 10 months?

What market?


Yes. Estimates show about 40k. Dallas market, very desirable neighborhood. From what I understand, they bought from an investor that bought the house and ended up moving to like California or somewhere and was having trouble selling it so it was a good price, and they did some cosmetic work themselves.

It’s important to note that they will be taxed on the gain in purchase price MINUS selling fees and any money spent fixing up the house.

That is if they move before 2 years.

After all fees to sell the house?

Any improvements made can be deducted from the gains as well

They'll likely be way less than $40k in gains after all of that, I'd imagine.
