    The $250k on exemption from capital gains tax applies only if the property was your primary home for two of the last five years. When you sell an investment property any amount that you earn over the basis is capital gains and will be taxed. Additionally when you own a property for a time then you have to pay "recapture" for depreciation taken or not taken.

    If you are asking these kinds of questions on this forum you should consult with a tax ad visor or an experienced investor. There is nothing wrong with not knowing the answers but in things like this you need accurate, professional advice.
