There are so many people there that have been in the real estate game for a long period of time and they can really help you cut through the noise.There is a really good meet up that you can find on BP that meets once a month as well that takes place at the ivy in Buckhead.

Very New to the game i currently am about to rent out my primary home and purchase another property and hopefully keep moving up from there.

Suspended passive losses won't be realized till all properties sold. that's not a concern for lots of buy and hold landlords, I guess. paper loss year after year is common. 

REI is for the long-game in the current market unless you are flipping. 

The lower your price game never works, and in the end, the STR homeowner loses money and eventually closes up their STR.

Hold your cash to get into the next deal 

Looking for fix and flip and maybe buy and hold for long term rental.

I would have kept the house, but the timing in the market was right and I would have been unable to continue managing the property myself so I made the decision to sell and hold on to the cash that was made from the deal for my next investment.

@Mary Jay  one of the things that isn't emphasized enough is that when you buy with negative cash flow, you have to have the money to carry the property to your end game. 

Not finding any great deals yet though and the payment and holding fees wouldn't leave me with much cash leftover.
