Hello! I refinanced my mortgage to take advantage of a 5% reduction in principal, approx $20K. This in an investment property so I understand that this would be a taxable event. I am wondering if I sell the house (owned for 3 years) this year for a $20k loss, would the two cancel out? Many thanks in advance!
