CPA question for taxes

[Teresa Thomas]

My husband and I are just starting out in real estate investing, we have done a ton of reading and listening to this podcast. We recently spoke with a CPA who said she has 24 years experience, but doesn’t specialize in real estate, however has a handful of clients who do own investment property. She made this statement: you want to have some properties that are winners and some that are losers when it comes to your taxes, to balance it out.

Is this a valid statement? Wouldn’t we want all of our properties to produce cash flow?
