You may have current or prior years losses that would offset some of your capital gains.

Over charging on repairs can be the difference between profit and loss for a lot of smaller landlords.

Just got an email that they want us to put in another 26% of our invested capital or it is going to be sold at a loss. 

Many of us, including myself, have faced losses with crumbling deals.

I have 2 long term rentals both at 7.5% interest rates.1. estimated value: $950k, outstanding mortgage of $574k2. estimated value: $900k, outstanding mortgage of $514k#1 cash flows nicely for me at $2500/mo, but #2 leaves me at a $400 loss each month, mainly due to the interest rate.

Like a retailer who needs to sell “dead” inventory at a large loss.  

There is nothing that offsets the potential losses of running a business out of unpermitted, non-conforming residential construction.

It indemnifies the insured against actual loss if title is otherwise than as stated in the policy. 

Most of my Section 8 tenants left on a bad note and resulted in financial losses.

If you subsequently purchased a property for 200k, would you count gains/losses against the 50k you now put in or against the 25k you started with as that’s what you’re actually out of pocket, depending on how you look at it.I hope I worded that clearly
