I do not want to invest in another property.Any ideas how I can reduce my 2024 taxable income?

Pay attention to the loan-to-value ratio; a lower ratio can reduce risk by indicating more borrower equity in the property.Building relationships with lenders is essential.

And if you reduce the amount, you are reducing your protection.I have tried both and I'm still not sure which way to go.Airbnb's solution (neither one, just a virtual deposit, in case) is the best, IMO, but vrbo has not yet copied this one (I wish they would).How are you dealing with this matter for those of you on VRBO?

Who can I talk to to figure out why my status was reduced from Pro? 

Ryan if you were posing this as a general question for most beginning investors, I would say buying close to home such as house hack or within a 2 to 3 hour drive to reduce the risk that's involved with OOS investing.

If your cash flow has essentially been reduced to zero (or negative), yes it probably makes sense to sell.

If you have a history of having rented the property by the room, a lender will very well look at the rent you have gotten and lend based on that (or at least the DSCR won't reduce below whatever LTV is offered on the appraisal).

There are less lenders that do short term rental loans and they will usually have a reduced loan to value / LTV.

You do need to be REP or have STR to use the losses from rentals to save your taxes.Since you started renting your single-family home in 2021 and just bought a duplex in 2024, you can use depreciation to reduce your taxable income.
