My wife and I try to weekly review our losses and wins.

The time and money loss of building an adu is often a lot higher than one would think. 

They experience no loss in income or repair costs.

I've used Dealcheck.com to analyze the numbers and with the 50% rule assumption (and 8% vacancy), it is telling me that I'll be at a loss of $118 per month.

Seller might not be able to take a loss on it 

Does anyone know of a tool, or software they can generate a statement which includes not only profit and loss, but also a balance sheet?

As posted before, I wouldn't call this a loss, would you?

If you are not classified as a Real Estate Professional, you can take up to $25K in passive losses from your real estate endeavors, and those losses will offset any gains you may have elsewhere.

I have seen this time and again where the wife obtains a loan to buy out the husband and then something comes along, loss of juob, illness or what ever that is not totally devistating but just put's them behind in payments and ultimately loses the house anyway.

Thanks.Some of those incorporate fear of loss too.I know I analyzing it alot, but last time I sent out quite a few postcards and got some calls, but nothing panned out too much.
