I opened my account on Aug 15th, and during the last ~3 months, my portfolio has gone up by a combined 1% (appreciation and dividend). 

This completed project adds value to the Morganton rental market with its modern updates and versatile use.

@John Davey With an AGI over $150,000, all rental income and losses are bundled together and cannot offset ordinary income due to Passive Activity Loss (PAL) rules.In your example, the combined $3,000 net loss (from rentals 1, 2, and 3) is carried forward since your AGI is above the threshold.

PAL rules have a curve that drops to zero at $150k of combined income for couples.
