Deductions & credits

I want to hear another statement from Tax expert regarding the sale of my second home in 2019.

I sold my second home in 2019 with a loss of $40,000 plus expenses including broker fees, closing fees.

This was no timeshare, nor any part of Airbnb. Can I claim as investment income for 2019?

Please answer asp. Your tax expert apparently told me during my tax return procedure that I 

could not deduct the loss of my investment on Federal return. I had to pay franchise tax for the state of 

California for the tax year 2015 for investment income as capital gain.
