Easy Property Selling

Inherited property should receive a step up cost basis, meaning the value would be pegged to it’s worth at the date of death (an alternate date is sometimes used). If you sold at a loss then no tax issue at all.

If you finance the deal then you would treat it as an installment sale and spread the gain out over as many years as you received the payments.

Long term capital gain rates are low now.
