No one I know is going anywhere to report their loss so you can research it.

It is widely recognized as a loss leader within the industry and those who are successful normally have a complimentary business such as a brokerage or a construction company that performs complimentary services.

Let's analyze each issue you've mentioned:1) Tenancy Length: besides issues a landlord can't control, like death, sickness, job loss, etc., the actual management of the property & tenant play a large roll in how long tenants stay in their home.

Sometimes it's best to cut your losses and move on.

It would have been a different story if we were selling at a loss or a very small gain, but we were happy with the profit we made from the sale, and more importantly the experience we gained, so all the time and effort felt worth it to us.

And for example there was a Crowd Street deal (Nightingle) where the sponsor omitted losses from their claimed track record (and ultimately was fraud...they never even bought the claimed property).And there appeared to be some difficulty or confusion with obtaining the full and complete track record ( including both realized and unrealized deals).

There are some accumulated passive losses but not much.

Although we do have deals on the lending side that dont work but we are not forced into a position to take big loss's like we were when the banks were calling our loans.. this will happen in the DSCR world as all these folks are using same type of debt IE debt that can be called based on the terms of the debt or like you have seen with the syndicators that are talked about on BP max leverage bad debt things dont go right And you have cap calls or projects totally lost. 

When an offer came in for 30 cents on the dollar, I decided bail out, so took a 70% loss. 

For example a price below where I think it will sell for, attracting more Buyers, but not too low where I'm doing unnecessary work filtering out Buyers who don't understand the market conditions.
