http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_gains_tax_in_the_United_StatesHey Hakrjak, would you care to enlighten me a little on capital gains in Real estate?I tried searching the web for some capital gains basics in NJ, but have not been able to come up with an easy FAQ on the subject. Is it 20% on your "profits" if you hold a property for less then a year, and 15% on your "profits" if you hold it for more then a year? Does this vary from state to state? Im just curious about what kind of hit I can expect to take in NJ if I were to sell my rental at say, a 50k profit in 2-3 years.
If the tax percentage drops the longer you hold the property, it may be worth me holding onto it longer.
Anyone who can elaborate or point me in the right direction (ie ACTUAL percentages on what I have to look forward to or the "basics", lol) would be appreciated!

google.com
It depends on your tax bracket, and holding longer may or may not help. Since capital gains will be going up in 2 years, there would be no advantage in holding it for than 2-3 years instead of one year(at least no advantage from capital gains).
