Take home improvements into account for capital gains calculation
Allow adding an expense of type “home improvement” or maybe a generic “cost basis increase” type of expense, if “home improvement” is too specific?, that would apply to a real estate asset and increase the cost basis of a real asset. For example, a house cost $500,000 in 2010 and improvements were made for $100,000 in 2020. In 2030, it will sell for $700,000 so its cost basis should be $600,000 and capital gains should be $100,000 instead of $200,000.
Something similar could be achieved by letting users change the Purchase Price in the plan settings, but right now that can’t be done because the asset’s price is hard-linked to the asset in Current Finances.
I think the expense approach is cleaner.
Thank you!!
