Sometimes you just need to cut your losses. 

As of now, I am not too concerned with the loss of economies of scale since my scale is still small and I typically roll up my sleeves and do as much as I can by myself.I appreciate the positive comments, I'm very passionate about not starving to death and that ends up being quite the motivator.

@Charlotte Edwards if there is a total loss, then yes, you can just take a check and not rebuild. 

I'm at a loss for what the type of commercial property i'm searching for would be called?  

My main thought behind doing so was that I could build up a reserve quicker to be able to buy a second property since I can't spend it on personal expenses, but if I do this will that increase my "rental income" and make it harder for me to claim a loss on the property.

Rick Rucker and othersCan you explain how loss(negative) affect rental schedule E.

I'm sure that you understand that vacancy and/or collection loss can be crushing to your returns.  

Due to my adjusted gross income, I am not allowed to deduct my passive activity losses against that income, and I am not otherwise a "real estate professional."

The reality is, as with any new business venture, the vast majority will fail within 5 years.Most are not fully educated and will make simple mistakes that will lead to selling at a loss in many cases.
