What I'm trying to say is that I recommed giving us more details or if you don't want to put personal info on the internet find a in-person tax professional or accountant who is familiar with rental property taxation to determine your eligibility for deducting rental losses and ensure that you're compliant with tax regulations.

It’s frustrating to them and agents because they waited to ask in person questions to an agent who cannot answer them. 

Figure out the best medium in which you meet these folks (in person, LinkedIn, networking groups etc)4.
