No, property taxes cannot be added to the cost basis of a property. The cost basis typically includes the original purchase price of the property and certain expenses related to the purchase, but property taxes are not considered part of the cost basis.
You add the closing costs to your basis.
Yes, the cost of renovation can be deducted from capital gains when selling a property, as long as the renovations are considered capital improvements that add value to the property or extend its useful life. These costs can reduce the property's adjusted basis, which in turn lowers the taxable capital gain. However, routine maintenance and repairs that do not enhance the property's value cannot be deducted. It's advisable to keep detailed records of all renovation expenses for tax reporting purposes.
No for many reasons. One, you depreciate tangible assets...a loan is not an asset...if you purchased additions to the property, those would be assets you could depreciate. Cash is intangible. If anything, taking money out of a property would decrease your basis, not increase it! You create the depreciable asset by buying it...not the opposite. You understand you have to recapture depreciation at ordinary rates on sale too, don't you?
To claim the home improvement loan interest deduction on your taxes, you must meet the following criteria: the loan must be used to make improvements to your primary or secondary residence, the loan must be secured by your home, and the improvements must add value to the property.
To calculate the budget for a house purchase, add up your total savings, income, and any financial assistance you may receive.

Yes, an above ground pool can potentially raise your property taxes. When you add a pool, it may increase the overall value of your property, which tax assessors take into account when calculating property taxes. However, the extent of the increase can vary based on local regulations and the specific market conditions in your area. It's advisable to check with your local tax assessor’s office for specific guidelines related to property improvements.
No, it doesn't work that way. A pool certainly adds value, but there are no improvements that can be made to a home that are 100% added to the value of the home. I've heard that a kitchen remodel can add about 60% of the cost to the value. My guess is that you would be lucky to add 50% of the cost of the pool to the overall value of the property. Two other things to remember: Some people don't like pools and in their eyes it would decrease the value of the property. You don't want your property to go up by $50k, because your property taxes will go up as well!

Two major costs of owning a home are mortgage payments and property taxes. Mortgage payments typically include principal and interest, and can significantly impact monthly budgets. Property taxes, which vary by location, can also be substantial and are often based on the assessed value of the home. Additionally, homeowners must consider maintenance and repair expenses, which can add to the overall cost of homeownership.

Every check redemption would have required the calculation of cost basis, so the problem can't be very difficult. Start from the last time the basis was calculated and add all of the interim investments.
