    Rental with line of credit

    I have a client that wants to sell his rental and he has a line of credit against it. At closing when he pays off the line of credit can that be used against his capital gains after I add in the depreciation.

    Thank You

    I must be reading this incorrectly, because it seems like you are asking if you can decrease taxable capital gains by the cash used to pay off the loan.

      That was my reading of the post also.

        Loans against an asset have no bearing on capital gains / losses and only effect cash flow.
