sold it for $50,000, I would be liable for taxes $45,000?


Negative. An exception to the rules about capital vs. repair is
that in a planned program of renovation, just about every stinkin'
thing can be capitalized until the project is done and all signed
off. So your basis would be $50,000 if not a bit less.
