My brain isn't working well--
if you bought a rental property for $150,000, and a few years later sell it for $300,000
(not adding/subtracting costs and basis here), you have a profit of $150,000.
However, you still had a loan of $90,000. Do you subtract the amount of the loan from the profit to get to the net profit you pay taxes on?

No.

Did you report that original loan as income when you got it? Most likely not, so paying it back isn't a *deduction*.

Thanks. Got it figured out and realized the answer was right in front of us. My brain hurts!
