@Michael J Shetler It was a combination but mainly the build cost. 

I know probably several hundred co-brokes and I have worked with many as an investor before I got licensed and started a team.A combination of several reasons: Real estate agents are in an industry that is easy entry and it rewards networking much more than actual skills (let that one sink in), because consumers don't know how to vet agents and it becomes mostly about trust - so you work with your friend's cousin, because he said she's great.

I own 2 of the units for STR that I kept empty last service period just to get a gauge on things and the 4 other units still managed to use a combined 43,000 gallons which makes a $860 bill total that is split between Louisville Water@$321 and Sewer@$539.

It's rare that sellers want to sell today, but if you follow up with them, when they are ready, you'll be the person they work with. 

Just let the applicant apply and use the same qualification criteria which they rarely will pass. 

But if you need more cash in hand now and can handle the higher fees and reduced cash flow, option 1 could make sense.As for shopping around, it might be worth getting a few more quotes, especially if you think you can find something that combines the best of both worlds—a decent LTV and lower fees.Hope this helps!

We then try to combine them all together or add it in if we’re handling something more serious.

My close neighborhood rarely has any fixer upper that fit for a rehab.

With a full-time job, it might be hard to meet those requirements, so your real estate losses could be considered passive.Now, on the AGI front—if you and your husband’s combined AGI is over $150k, unfortunately, you won’t qualify for the $25,000 special allowance that lets you offset passive losses against your other income (like your W-2 income).
