Not sure if the answer isa) nothing I can do about it, b) put a wireless water meter to help detect leaks on it (how does this work for a rental where the internet is theirs?)

Your feedback make sense.1) I am in the North east so buying more doors is an arduous task so I don't plan to be a RE investor with many doors (because I won't have enough money).2) Other reason is that even if I somehow got another rental, chances of making positive cashflow given current prices/interest rates is remote (especially given I am not a seasoned RE investor).3) I don't have an urgent need for money.Given these three points, I don't know what passive profits would I apply my rental loss of $26K against...unless you can think of a way I can use this loss to ease my way into an additional rental.Else, I agree, I can hold onto the rental for as long as I need to and then sell and use the loss then.Thanks for the guidance!

I attribute this to bad information on the internet and “Gurus” who sell the novice investor on the notion anyone can scale to a  large portfolio quickly.
