My parents sold me their condo. There was 180K left on the mortgage which was the loan amount, the purchase price was 300K (gift of equity of 120K). The appraisal came in at 425K. If I sell the house for 500K, is my gain on sale 320K or 200K?

Couple thoughts, but I’m not an accountant. Your parents can gift you it was 15k, now it’s up to 17k per year tax free. If your purchase contract was 300k that’s your cost basis. If it was 180k that’s your cost basis. Sounds like your cost basis was the 180k. It depends what that contract says, it’s recorded with the county so you can look it up. I think you owe tax on the equity gift. I’d try to hit the 2 year primary residence, married couple and avoid the capital gains tax. 250k single, 500k married. We’re all here to learn and tax code is complex. Feel free to correct me, if I missed something.

Actually I don't think any gift Tex exemption comes comes into play here. You're paying 180k for the property. That would be your basis. EA1 hit the nail on the head here.

Your basis is $300k, the sale price. Your parents balance sheet doesn't factor into your balance sheet. If they sold you a $425k condo for $300k, their "gift" was approximately $125k of equity. I would treat it as though you got the condo for fmv and it needed work. The Irs doesn't know.

I'm going to accept an offer that's 150k+🎉 I'm a single filer, no kids. I'll be able to max out: 401k, HSA, but from my understanding, I will not qualify to utilize IRA? Aside from building a 6-month emergency fund (HYSA), what are potential next investment vehicles? I do know I want to start purchasing real estate for cash flow. But what about mega-backdoor Roth IRA? I'll admit, I still need to read more on it.

Just curious what investment vehicles you're using to get to FIRE.

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
