None of this has anything to do with your personal tax return.

My question is "when do they select those 1000 returns?"

So it's weighted returns. 

Quote from @Steve Vaughan: Can these 'tokens' easily beat a yield of 8%?

Any lender should be able to easily do a HELOC for you (provided your credit is OK), but a local credit union will likely give you the best deal. 

and that was owner occ.. todays rates are pretty normal actually. what you can do if you want though is find a really good HML and let them place a loan for you making 10 to 12% while your wait for things to change to a situation that you feel you want to move forward be more net return than buying a rental thats for sure. of course no tax bene's but there really is not that much tax benefit on one rental.. so just some alternatives. 

@Merrick Hidalgo If your private REIT investment is returning only 10% of the principal and the remaining 90% is likely lost, the key factor in claiming a capital loss is when the loss is realized for tax purposes.

I'm open to properties were cap rate is around 10%+ and Return on Cash is 10%-20%. 

But I love your point- which is AI makes so much competitive data more easily accessible and- actionable.

The stock account is tanking, you see no hope for it to return, and you want to preserve the remainder of the principal;3.
