Do you have to pay capital gain taxes on a home that was willed to you then you sold it?
Yes, you may have to pay capital gains taxes on a home that was willed to you if you sell it. However, when inherited property is sold, the cost basis is "stepped up" to the fair market value at the time of the original owner's death, potentially reducing the taxable gain. If you sell the home for less than this stepped-up basis, you may not owe capital gains taxes. It's advisable to consult a tax professional for specific guidance based on your situation.

In UK tax law a capital gain is when you sell shares, land, property etc, at a higher amount for which you acquired it.

What is the Difference between revenue and capital gains?
Revenue is income from labor, services, etc. Usually it is taxed at the highest rate. Capital gains is income from buying a stock or a house at one price and selling it at a profit. Usually it is taxed at a lower rate due to the fact that some of the capital gain is due to the government printing money or expanding the money supply. In other words, you by a house and sell a house for more, but you really just have enough money to buy another house, that is more money but not more purchasing power. Where it gets tricky is in hedge funds where the manager is paid a management fee out of capital gains. It has similarities to revenue, but is taxed at the lower capital gains rate.

Generally, yes. The mortgage interest is going to be deductible.

If you continually sell every 2 years, you can keep cashing in on tax free equity. There are not a lot of investments out there that won't tax you on capital gains.
