Selling "Gifted" Real Estate

We at BuyWisconsinLand.com think land is a fantastic Christmas gift.  Check out our website for great wooded hunting acreages and recreational properties.

However, if you already have a property that was a gift, that is property given to you from someone living (not left to you in a will) and you want to sell that land, there are tax consideration you need to be aware of. This article from by William Perez from About.com should give you some insight.
