Hi all, I've been having a hard time finding a landlord policy that will insure a condo and a property with a loss history.

The more cash you put in, the more cash you have to recover, and the longer it will take to do this.

Trail each purchase w a 10% downside stop loss limit order if you're not confident in the REIT, then continue your research on private real estate, and when you have the capital/team in place/knowledge of the local real estate market put it to work then, no rush. 

I've done a lot of reading and no one ever discusses losses, but surely there will be some? 

Can I pursue legal action to recover rent for the full lease term (12 months) since the tenant signed the lease? 

Pay the monthly charge, they cover losses.

Can a qualified real estate professional with a W-2 income above $150,000 be allowed to write off rental losses on my tax returns?

Cut the price in half and take a big loss.

Its not a huge loss it’s just annoying and they are stealing peoples money.

Also, what happens if you fail to maintain proper insurance coverage and their is a total loss due to a fire?
