However, I agree it’s better to just cut the losses now and learn from this crazy experience.

This creates two loan payments ($100,000 of equity and $300,000 on the new mortgage).Key NumbersHome Equity Loan Interest Rate: 6%Mortgage Interest Rate: 7%Rental Income: $3,000 per monthExpenses (management, taxes, insurance, maintenance): $800 per monthIncome and ExpensesMonthly Rental Income: $3,000Monthly Expenses: $800Monthly Mortgage Payment: $2,000ExplanationThe investor earns $3,000 in rent each month.They pay $2,000 on the investment property mortgage and $800 on other expenses.This leaves $200 profit each month or $2,400 per year.However, you have to pay $6,000 interest on the equity borrowed.This leaves you with an annual loss of $3,600.While the rental property generates positive monthly income, the interest cost of borrowing the initial $100,000 results in an overall annual loss.

Despite current unemployment rates maintaining below 5%, the recent rise from 3.8% to 4.2%(recently revised to 4.1%) is significant, especially when considering wage growth adjusted for inflation.Over the last few years, the median household income has dropped by 7.2% when adjusted for inflation (and this isn't even considering volatile food and energy prices), a troubling trend given that inflation has outstripped income growth.

Stock gains are considered capital gains and can't be offset by passive losses from your real estate portfolio.

What are some ideas should i explore so that I can minimize the financial loss in this situation especially given I cannot refinance even if the rates were 0% as my property value won't appraise.

I myself am into the six figures in losses so far...

Landlord has to suffer the loss.

. --- If you close on the property in November and immediately send the 30-Day, you LEGALLY have to wait until January 1 to file a landlord-tenant case to regain possession is the tenants have not vacated.4) Your rent losses will be November, December, January, February and probably March if the tenants choose not to pay and you have to evict.--- Make sure seller at least collects & prorates November rent to you!

I will say it is equivalent to a profit and loss report, so I would think it would be sufficient for that purpose along with some other reports I'm sure they will need.
