Ive been watching bigger pockets for about a year now.

Hello Derick, If you have not already done this, I suggest the Build Your Investing Team> menu/link at the top left of the page on Bigger Pockets and go through the process of building a team.

These days too many people have too little coverage in case of a rebuild so you do want to make sure you understand the true cost of a total loss.

Because your second year is likely (oops, I did it again) to show a net profit instead of net loss.

It's not just the taxes, but being able to at-a-glance look at expenses by the month and year, profit and loss calculating automatically, and even cash flow by property and total portfolio by month and year.Thanks for suggesting it!

We also tell them that we charge $25 per hole for TV mounts, shelves etc I think that $10 up-front investment has reduced the number of issues by probably 80%.Our walls are textured (sand textured in Milwaukee, orange peel textured in the western suburbs - yes, there is an actual dividing line), so we try to avoid the usual palm-sized patch and fill only the hole without making it bigger, so we can get away without texturing.

I just can't accept such a constant ever increasing loss, even if I can afford it. 

WHATS GOING ON BIGGER POCKETS FAMILY! 

Since this is something that is best done with a team of experts that know a lot more than I do I am putting this request with help from the bigger pockets community to get me started on my road to success. 

Hi Kyle,Welcome to Bigger Pockets!
