Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊

I work an asset company to help me determine my risk tolerance. 

Line of Credits (like HELOCS) allows access to a set amount of money up to a pre-determined limit and it is revolving.

Another option is investing in real estate through partnerships or fractional ownership, focusing on properties that yield cash flow or appreciation potential.For long-term growth, consider diversifying into assets such as private equity, tax liens, or even certain types of real estate that offer both capital appreciation and income potential over time.

So, comps can help with figuring out local cap rates, then you need the income from the property to determine a value.

Quote from @Brendan Doherty': I’ve read in books of people getting past having to live in the property they own so they can rent all units year one of ownership(living on the property with an rv).

to determine neighborhood classes.

We all know those that get on BP that are LPS and now own 5000 units or Co GP with no real ownership etc.. so those are legit questions to bad OP got so defensive and did not just answer the questions. 

Once this is determined you can select the best neighborhood and asset that fits your capabilities. 

Generally, a loss can only be claimed in the tax year when the investment becomes completely worthless or when there is a final determination that no further value will be recovered.If the REIT has officially liquidated, been declared insolvent, or issued a final report confirming that no additional distributions will be made, you may be able to claim the loss on your 2024 tax return.
