You can look at your county tax assessment, to see how much of the total assessment they apportion to land and how much to improvements.  You can use the same percentage to allocate the sales price and expenses.

What does this mean?  When you sell a house/rental all they give you is the sale price of the house.  What is the formula to figure this out?
