A capital gain is the profit that results from a sale of a capital asset, such as real estate, stocks, or bonds, where the sale price exceeds the purchase price.
A Gain in real estate refers to an increase in the value or selling price of a property compared to its purchase price. This can result in a financial profit for the property owner.
An installment sale is a sales method in which the seller receives payments over time and reports a portion of the capital gain to tax authorities as payments are received, thus spreading tax liabilities.
