I am a CPA, but don't do my own taxes, so take that fwiw. Even if there is a gain with the stepped up basis, there are exemptions in place for gains less than a certain amount (I believe in the hundreds of thousands). The only way you don't have an exemption is if you sell x number of houses in a given period.
