. $10k in losses will reduce the federal tax due by $1.5-2k.However, the state tax due gets lowered by a very small amount by using passive losses to offset passive income as I assume state tax rate is quite low (I live in TX, so never worried about state tax) compared to long-term capital gains rate of 15-20%.

I cold call in Dec 2019 for a townhouse that the seller's son was living in but she was waiting for his to move.

There are fix and flip loans where the total loan amount needs to be $100K between rehab, property purchase price and buyer down payment (usually 10-20% for a fix and flip loan depending on the property and borrower credit) (so the property before rehab can be worth less than $100K).If you are looking for a loan for an investment property you won't be living in that doesn't require significant rehab / ready to rent / is already rented an option is a DSCR loan.Some DSCR lenders will go down to a $75K appraised value and a $55K loan amount.
