The capital gain of $110,000 is correct.  When you converted the property to a rental its adjusted basis was $250,000.  When you sold the property its adjusted basis was $210.000 ($250,000 less $40,000 in depreciation).  Your capital gain is selling price $320,000 less adjusted basis $210,000 which equals $110,000.   What you owe and have to payoff is not a factor when computing capital gain on a rental property.   Capital gain does not necessarily equal the cash you receive in a sale.
