Since you haven't received the funds yet, you cannot claim any loss for 2024.If you receive the 10% return of principal in 2025 and the investment is officially terminated or sold at that time, you could potentially claim a capital loss for the remaining 90% on your 2025 taxes.

Would it make more sense to move the money we make from selling to a different property that could potentially increase our cash flow? 

The BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) could also be a great strategy to recycle your capital.To find deals, try direct mail campaigns targeting absentee owners or distressed properties, or go driving for dollars in neighborhoods with strong rental potential.

Would the 9-year balloon concern you, knowing you'd need to refinance or pay off the balance at potentially higher market rates in the future?

THEN, I plan to purchase the second home using a FHA or conventional loan (3%-5% down), for which I will likely pay the monthly cost out-of-pocket, maybe with some rental income support if it is a duplex.My concern is, I do not want to spend my savings or weigh down my debt-to-income ratio so much so that I cannot qualify for and pay the down payment and closing for the lending on the second home.Questions: - With the first home being multi-family, 75% of the rental income (or potential rental income initially) will relatively either maintain or boost my debt-to-income ratio from lenders' perspectives, right?
