Review on inherited townhouse we bought
“Watson Buys bought my house for cash. I didn’t have to make any repairs and the offer was based on the current market value. As a we buy houses company, they really listened to me and my situation. The property was inherited by me and my siblings. Watson Buys sorted the tile out (still showed Dad on the deed) and helped with the power of attorney stuff to make the process really easy for us!

Inherited houses we buy review #2
“I really was so stressed when selling my house. I was nervous, felt vulnerable, even scared. Watson Buys ran comps and showed me the results. They showed me a video of their process too. This really helped me. As a cash buyer, they were so honest, transparent, and trustworthy. They treated me with respect. I am very grateful. Thanks, Watson Buys.” Neil – Denver, CO
Can I Sell My Inherited House?
YES. Of course, you can. However…
When selling a property you inherited there are extra steps you need to be aware of. You do not want to make a costly mistake!
However, it is basically the same as selling any property.
When selling your inheritance it is important to know all parties involved. This includes but is not limited to:
- Who gifted you the property?
- Partied that inherited the house
- including siblings, family, friends
- Executor of the will
- Local, State, and Federal Government Agencies
- I.R.S (very important to get this right… RIGHT??!)
Once you know all the parties involved you can begin communication and discuss how you want to sell.
Hopefully, everyone is in agreement. If this is the case…AWESOME!
AT THIS POINT if you all want to sell then you need to work out what your house is worth. This is a topic we discuss elsewhere.
If you want to sell it without hassle, stress-free and still getting a great price now would be a great time to contact Watson Buys.
PRO TIP #1: Inheritance Insurance
It is vital that the house you inherited is insured. Insurance will protect your asset in case of fire, theft, flood, or any other damage that could occur.
Potentially after inheriting a property, you may be inundated with emotions and tasks. To make this simple contact your current insurance agent. Let them insure it for you, even just for a short time until you make other arrangements
If nothing else make getting insurance for the house a high priority!
“But Shaun” you say… “I plan to sell my house fast and just need to find someone that purchase inherited homes as-is”
Great! Sell it as-is for a fast sale. That’s a perfect option. But it doesn’t change the fact you need to get insurance.
If I sell my inherited house do I have to pay taxes?
Simply put, if you sell an inherited house you are subject to taxes.
Let me explain the slight difference between subject to taxes versus having to pay taxes. It actually makes a huge difference for you!
SIDE NOTE: If you chose to sell a property you inherited to a cash buyer it is very important you work with someone who understands the difference. Do you really want to risk making costly mistakes?
Ok, so explain what I mean by “you are subject to taxes” when you sell…
I use the term “you are subject to taxes” instead of “have to pay taxes” because when you sell an inherited property it doesn’t automatically mean you have to pay capital gains tax. Sweet right?
Whether you pay taxes comes down to the tax basis OR in the matter of inherited homes the “Stepped Up Tax Basis”.
So what is a stepped-up tax basis and how does it affect selling the inheritance?
This is more simple than it sounds, I promise!
Shall we?
Check this out for a complete guide on capital gains tax in Colorado and how it figures into selling and real
Selling Inherited Property Cont...
Stepped up tax basis means zero taxes when you sell!
First, What is a stepped-up tax basis?
Stepped up tax basis means that the “tax basis” for the property is reset. It is reset on the day that you inherit the house. It is reset to the fair market value of the day.
BUT WAIT!?! What the heck is a tax basis?
Tax basis is the number that is used to determine if you pay capital gains when you sell the house. For a house, you buy in normal circumstances tax basis equals the price you paid for the house. An inheritance tax basis is the fair market value on the day you inherited it.
SO, let say your Parents bought a house. They paid $50,000 for it.
Your parents left the home to you in their will. The day you inherit the house the fair market value is $500,000. You decide it is best that you sell the property.
You sell it successfully for $500,000.
Most people will then think they have to pay taxes on the capital gain. In this case, the gain is $450,000 (i.e. $500,000 – $50,000).
TAXES ON $450,000 WOULD BE A HUGE AMOUNT!
This is why working with people who know what is going on is SO important!
Let’s apply the stepped-up tax basis rule. The capital gains are calculated on the fair market value of the house the day you inherited it.
In this example, that means you would have to pay taxes on $0.00!!!
I don’t want to pay taxes when I sell… Are you sure?
YES! Absolutely. 100% Here is the calculation…
$500,000 (stepped-up tax basis)
MINUS $500,0000 (sold price)
EQUALS capital gain of ZERO meaning you pay NO TAX!
ZERO, Nada, Nothing, Zip.
No can you understand why knowing the rules are so important!
Pro Secret #2: Avoid taxes when you sell OPTION 2...
1031 Exchange
Did you know it is against the law to avoid paying taxes? Therefore you must use workaround terms like delay paying taxes or not subject to taxes.
O.K then. Now the PC crap is out of the way. On to the good stuff.
Another way that you can “delay paying taxes” when you sell a house you inherited is by using a 1031 Exchange.
A 1031 Exchange involves selling one house and re-investing that money in another house. This is a great tool if you have been renting the property and you would like to buy a different rental property.
We will talk about 1031 Exchanges in detail on another page. This will include interviews with:
- Probate Attorneys
- Accountant specializing in inherited property
- 1031 Exchange Expert
- Title companies that work with 1031 exchanges.
Fastest Way to Sell Inherited House
The fastest way to sell a house that you inherited is to sell it to a legit cash buyer like Watson Buys.
This is what we specialize in!
We will buy the house:
- AS-IS
- Fast
- for CASH
But how do you know selling to us for cash is a good idea?
Good Idea to Sell Inherited House Cash?
It is a good idea to sell for cash if:
- You want to sell the house conveniently and easily
- You don’t understand how to sell an inheritance
- Selling the fast is a priority
- Getting it sold for a fair price is also a priority
Selling for cash is not for everybody, I will agree. BUT…
Unless you want to become a landlord or do a bunch of renovations then list it on the MLS selling to us is a great solution!
Turn Inheritance Into Rental Income
Should I turn my inherited house into a rental property?
THAT DEPENDS!
Do you have time for another job because managing a rental house and the tenants is another job?
YES, it can be a good choice for some people but too many potential landlords don’t take all the possibilities into consideration. For example:
- What is the plumbing blocks at 2 am?
- What if rent doesn’t cover all the bills?
- What happens if the renter doesn’t pay on time… OR AT ALL?
- How do I evict a tenant?
So many things to think about and this is just the start.
If you are thinking about becoming a landlord I applaud your decision. AND…
Let me offer this piece of advice. Read at least 3 books on landlord and owning rental property. Find 3 books that get good reviews or join a landlord group online and ask questions. There is a wealth of information out there waiting for you!
Can I sell my share of the inherited house?
YES. You can sell your share of the inheritance. Most commonly you would sell it to another party who already has part ownership.
Generally, if you want to sell to a cash house buyer or real estate investor they will want to buy the entire property.
That said if you do want to sell your share of the inherited property for cash call Watson Buys.
Watson Buys can buy your share of inherited property.
We can buy any part or kind of inheritance because we are specialists.
Is the property unattractive? Heck even if it is an inherited house that is unattractive we will buy it because we buy houses FULL STOP!
FUN STORY MY HOUSE IS HAUNTED THAT I INHERITED
