Do have to pay capital gains tax on the sale of a prefabricated home?

Probably not...but there are many circumstances that you would. The main thing is, was it accounted for as your home (did you take homeowners deductions) or as something else (say as an investment). As a home, there are many ways the gain on sale isn't taxable at all...although it may even depend on what you did with the money from the sale (buying another home with it within a few years for example).


How much is taxable income on a primary home sale?

Your net proceeds, the net cash you received after all closing costs have been paid .. in other words, your total profit from the sale is taxable income unless you re-invest it within certain time limits in another real estate venture.


Can you avoid capital gains taxes from the sale of a second home you did not live in and used the proceeds to buy a new primary residence?

I can't think of any. Understanding that it is the sale of a primary residence that gets a tax break...not the making of income to purchase one. Except for the special conditions under Sect 1031, what one does with the money after a recognition event normally can't effect the taxability of the event preceding it.


Can i avoid capital gains tax if i convert a Rental Home to a 2nd Home?

No. It would become taxable upon the conversion. It is the same as a sale. You can at least defer tax on the section by complying with Section 1031 transacton needs. A highly complex thing that you should have a specialist help with.

What can happen if you pay your first mortgage but not your home equity when selling your home?

You do not have the option of not paying off the home equity mortgage when you sell your home. The buyer's attorney has the legal obligation of clearing any liens on the property prior to the buyer taking title. Any unpaid mortgages will be paid from the proceeds of the sale before the net proceeds are paid over to you. If you owe more than the selling price that will impact the sale and must be resolved before the sale can take place.

What if you pay your first mortgage but not your home equity?

If you have a first mortgage and a home equity mortgage, the home equity mortgage is a second mortgage.

The home equity lender can pay off the first mortgage and keep any excess proceeds from a sale.
