What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? california
hi, my tenant died. and i am selling the house, or at least attempting to do so. i could also rent it out for awhile
i am putting about 15K into it, to get it fixed up
assuming i make a sale, should this money be expensed as part of the current year's expenses ?
or should it be capitalized, and deducted from the sale of the property, when figuring out my basis ?
and what happens if i sell it next year, which seems much more likely than closing any sort of escrow by year's end ?
