I can't do anything to my rental to increase efficiencies in creating more income until it is vacant or the market decides I can.Businesses will require workers, that require leading, and that requires more patience and more hard decisions/conversations to make.

Quote from @Phil Shelton: this is what my cpa said, "Your income above the limit which is less than 150K in order to take rental losses which again are limited" In your case, you are carrying forward the losses towards 2023 taxes as shown on page 5/95 of the return and as far as the income limit form 8582 page 83/95 has a detailed breakdown for youWithout more information, and based on your CPAs comments, I’ll assume you have losses on long-term rental(s) and are materially participating in 2023.

@Tom PubinsGood question.Depending on what kind of access to information you have, and if you use any software to find property data, you can find buyers in the given area, what they have purchased, etc.

I would just caution you both not to make any decisions assuming that home-values/rents/interest-rates will be where you need them to be whenever you're ready to move. 

@Josh Mac keep in mind that Zillow can be completely unaware of factors that affect value...and some of these factors might not be apparent until you see the property in-person.For instance, maybe someone added a bathroom to the house, and now it's a 3/3, but Zillow thinks it's a 3/2.  ...or maybe the house is right next to a busy road with tons of traffic noise, but the Zestimate is based on nearby houses that are on quieter residential streets  ...or the main floor beam under the house is rotted out--Zillow would never know that...In short, there are a ton of factors that can affect a property's value that Zillow might completely miss.The Zestimate can be reasonably accurate in showing a ballpark value...but, I wouldn't make life and death investing decisions based on a Zestimate...

Hello Sabrina, With the things like this there are two things that should drive your decision: your goals, and the numbers.
