Real estate investment holds great potential for growth and you've found a valuable resource to learn from seasoned professionals.

Similarly, mountain retreats and ski resorts with increasing popularity for outdoor activities offer strong seasonal STR potential worth considering.

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!

Hello Everyone!
Looking forward to making new connections. learning from others and scaling my real estate portfolio. I've been investing for 15+ years and have a reasonably strong track record of personally acquirin...

My personal opinion is that the demand is there for the high season and we will have normal occupancy for the summer/fall. 

Agree, October missed the warm season but still is not winter. 

I can’t get showings or offers in on time to compete with seasoned investors.I didn’t realize it would be this difficult.

Lovely attached, outdoor terrace to relax and enjoy the seasons, sparkling community pool and large gym for workouts.

Then you start the whole process over with that property while you wait for that first property to season a bit so you can demonstrate an intent to hold.
