Bought the condo in Oct 2003. We lived in it until July 2007 at which point we bought a new home. The condo sat vacant on the sales market for a year before we decided to use it as a rental in June 2008. After a year of double mortgage payments, we were happy to not be eating $1200/mo between the mortgage and the HOA fee so we did not charge the tenants the HOA fee. We basically lost $100-120/mo on that property for the majority of the time we rented it. We just sold the property in Nov 2017 for a profit of $41,900. Looking for guidance for how to properly enter this information in my 2017 return as well as info on what taxes we might owe on the sale.
Thank you!

Since you did not use the property as your main home during at least 2 of the last 5 years before the date of sale, it is considered the sale of an investment .
You will have to enter the sale of the property, as well as any assets related to the property that you may have entered separately (for example, new roof, appliances, improvements).
To do this please follow these steps:
