[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Forum Board ] [ FAQ ] Brooklyn Girl Worried about Capitol Gains on Foreclosure & DIL Posted by Madonna Maka on September 30, 2006 at 10:15 AM I live in Brooklyn NY. Like an idiot, I regretfully bought a home as an investment to flip in Florida. I tried everything to sell this home. I listed with a reputable real estate company. I was told no buyers. I tried selling at lower than what I owe the bank as for sale by owner. I read blogs about another person in same situation about a Florida home. In the replies it implies that if I do a DIL or foreclosure, that I'll have to pay the IRS capitol gains taxes on the $305,000 I owe the bank if I do the DIL or a foreclosure. Is that true? I can't afford paying taxes on $305,000. I'm ashamed and scared. I can't afford this home anymore. I borrowed money from my parents to make the last 5 months payments to the bank because I didn't flip it like planned. They can't give me any more money or a loan because they are retired on a fixed income. Right now, I have way more bills than earnings. Making matters worse, I had to take a pay cut due to a major reorganization at my job. Is that true about having to pay capitol gains taxes to the IRS if the bank OKs a DIL or foreclosure? I may have to move in with my parents which is totally embarrassing. Please share your thoughts.
