When someone gives you a free house you don’t ask questions. Yes you need to pay tax on a house you own.

Not you, but your brother at least needs to talk to a CPA for gift tax considerations

like

No I believe the giver won’t have to pay gift tax due to the lifetime exclusion but he will have to file a gift tax return. OP will receive givers basis in the property and will use that basis plus other allowable costs when he sells the property and cap gains may need to be considered

Are you talking about property taxes or income taxes? Property taxes yes, income taxes no

Your brother is just giving you a house with no strings attached? Is your brother trying to hide assets or is this really just a gift from your rich brother? You will assume your brother’s cost basis such that when you sell you will own more on the gain and you will need to pay property taxes that will be based on the market value.

Understand that you aren’t going to sell it now. Someday when you do sell it, you have to take your brothers basis.

Cross posted: Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

How easy is it to get a mortgage for the second home?
