    I have tried using Business Plan Pro 2007, but have become stuck due to the hit and miss nature of the deal.

    In order to secure some larger $$$ deals I need to get back to it.

    Looks to me like it went something like this:

    Sales price 126,000
    Less: Cost (47,000)
    Seller concessions (25,000)
    Depreciation? ( 3,000)
    ---------------
    Capital gain 51,000

    Seems about right to me. The mortgage balance is irrelevant. If it was 66k I assume you either took money out or had a negative amortization loan.

    Sold for $126k, gifted $25k= $101k; mortgage payoff $66k= $35k, you got $24k= $11k.

    What happened to the $11k? Pretty high cost of sale.

    I suspect you are being taxed on $101k - $47k = $53k minus cost of sale, plus depreciation recapture.

    What kind of property are you asking about? Is this a duplex, two unit flats, or are you just sharing your house with a roommate?

    More details please.

    Hi, I have the same basic question as Scott. I have a 2 story hill side ranch where I rent the downstairs apartment. Should the expenses be split 50/50 or is it based on sq footage? would it be a good idea for taxes to form a corporation to "manage" that apt as a business?

    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Thanks srj1972,

    That information was very helpful and it was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.

    What did your AGI consist of? Wages, investment income, Real estate? If it is all wages, then no, your CPA is correct, you cannot take the losses this year.

    If you materially participate in the rental (ie. screen the tenants, collect the rents, etc.)

    Just to clarify,

    "Active" participation is required to qualify for the net passive loss allowance. "Material" participation has a different meaning in IRS jargon. Material participation is not required to qualify for the net passive loss allowance.

    Yes, to both of your questions.
