On January 15, 2017, Paige’s father died. From her father’s estate, she received stock valued at $30,000 (his basis was $12,000) and her father’s house valued at $90,000 (his basis in the house was $55,000).

Paige found a renter for her father’s house on August 1. The monthly rent is $400, and the lease agreement is for one year. The lease requires the tenant to pay the first and last months’ rent and a $400 security deposit. The security deposit is to be returned at the end of the lease if the property is in good condition. On August 1, Paige received $1,200 from the tenant per the terms of the lease agreement. In November, the plumbing froze and several pipes burst. The tenant had the repairs made and paid the $300 bill. In December, he reduced his rental payment to $100 to compensate for the plumbing repairs. Paige provides you with the following additional information for the rental in 2017.
