Hey @Scott Trench unfortunately real estate losses (active or passive) will not offset portfolio income from stock sale gains. 

Learning how to responsibly use debt is one of the best tools any real estate investor has at their disposal.

The company “cares about its tenants” and believes in providing “above standard living conditions,” it said in its statement.Other Philadelphia properties owned by RAD or the other businesses have been licensed with L&I as vacant real estate.

This is a very complicated business.

Once you go above $125k/unit you start to get into the high end areas that won't have very good rent/price ratios and are under the 1% rule mark for turnkey stuff.Neighborhood wise in the city the "East End" is where the most expensive real estate is since that's where the universities and a lot of the hospitals are located.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

And, again, eventually a strong business model/niche will show its numbers and then everyone will be doing it.

I think there's a pretty low bar for competency in the management business because it's not glamorous and can be a grind.
