I joined 3.5mo ago and I can tell you the subto mentorship is worth its weight in gold.  

Shouldn’t take me much time and I’m thinking this will also help look at the combined accumulated losses and assist financial planning.If you don’t mind me asking, do you have specific tools you use for finding deals?

REPS stands for Real Estate Professional Status—a tax designation that lets real estate investors write off rental losses (like depreciation and expenses) against other income, potentially saving a lot on taxes.

Flipping always seemed more risky and STR is riskier as well though it can be more profitable it can lead to serious losses. 

So, now almost two years later, I've had to close my flipping business because I can not seem to recover from this loss. 

With a 4-plex, losing one tenant is only a 25% loss of income versus a 50% loss in a duplex.That said, a duplex might be easier to manage, especially if you're new to investing or will be away for long stretches of time.

You may be able to get out of this bad deal with only your fees as a loss.

Put it on the scales, it's a loss.

Are you finding the deal, are you managing the deal (filling the units, taking care of the maintenance calls, making sure rent is collected), are you funding the deal or going 50/50 on profits and losses. 

Why we don’t like ARR (Average Rate of Return)It’s easy to skew the numbers.Here's an example of a positive ARR of 12.5%, but the investment loss is $50.Year 1 Start Value: $100 End Value: $25 Annual Return: -75%Year 2 Start Value: $25 End Value: $50 Annual Return: 100% ARR = 12.5%Am I missing something here?
