I have been thinking about real estate IMMENSELY for 2 weeks straight now...doing nothing but reading ALOT blogs.

The limit is still $25k, but anything beyond that can be carried over to the next year.Mehran Kamari- I don't know if claiming losses for 3 years straight gets you an audit for sure, but I think the chances are greater.
