Did you have unexpected expenses?

It's a small place so I'd guess it won't rent for enough to cover your expenses anyway so I'd probably sell, especially if the loss is small, it unless it's in a great neighborhood that you think will do well over time. 

I'm not familiar with California but I know living in Florida, the closer you are to the ocean the more expensive it is to live.

Some places require you to change the water between guests.I've never heard of a saltwater hotbtub.Sounds more expensive to purchase.

If I were you I’d look for a subset of a more expensive market.

Heck, maybe I’ll give the property manager (me) a 100% raise and an all expenses paid vacation 6 times a year.

Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.Exactly, most platforms have to offset cost somewhere because of how expensive it is to keep the data up to date.

They are really changing the shape of the city and it may become incredibly expensive to buy out there soon due to lack of housing.

@Cody Caswell depreciation, mortgage interest, insurance and one time expenses(non recurring) are considered add back expenses.

Not that I'm a proponent of borrowing just for a tax break, but the interest is a deductible expense.
