Terry Says

I can’t give specific advice on how you invest your variable annuity.  And if you inherited a house, then your new “cost basis” is the value on date of death of the person who left it to you.  I suggest you immediately get an appraisal in writing, from a certified appraiser, and then when you ultimately sell the house, you will have that number to use as a cost basis for any applicable taxes at that time.

There is no taxation on the house now, as you inherit it.  Only when you sell.
