On January 3, 2020, we entered into an agreement with our joint venture partner for our partner to purchase our membership interests in Hiren Boston, LLC and SB Partners, LLC. Net proceeds from the sale of our interests are anticipated to be approximately $24,000 and this transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2021.

Income/Loss Allocation

As of September 30, 2020, based on the income allocation methodology within Cindat Hersha Owner JV, LLC, the Company has absorbed cumulative losses equal to our accounting basis in the joint venture resulting in a $0 investment balance in the table above, however, we currently maintain a positive equity balance within the venture. This difference is due to difference in our basis inside the venture versus our basis outside of the venture, which is explained later in this note.

For SB Partners, LLC, Hiren Boston, LLC, and SB Partners Three, LLC, income or loss is allocated to us and our joint venture partners consistent with the allocation of cash distributions in accordance with the joint venture agreements. This results in an income allocation consistent with our percentage of ownership interests.

Any difference between the carrying amount of any of our investments noted above and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized over the expected useful lives of the properties and other intangible assets. 
Income (loss) recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is as follows:
