Things I’m thinking about is capital gains on sale, avoiding high property tax on duplex b/c the ones that are available are new builds.

The biggest gains are going from 3 to 4 and 4 to 5+ bedrooms. 

I'm asking this question on behalf of a client who is selling a property where the total capital gain looks like it will be less than the suspended losses they have accumulated on their tax return over the years of owning the property.

The push-back has noted that stock market gains aren't realized until a stock is sold, and gains can easily and quickly be lost.But real estate is already taxed on unrealized gains.

I was distracted and talking to someone about fix and flips and letting them know that the sale is taxed as ordinary income instead of capital gains and completely messed up what I was trying to point out.I was trying to say that STRs may help to offset some ordinary income with losses if you actively participate, whereas LTR losses only offset passive income unless you are classified as a real estate professional.
