For this year, I currently have about $131k in short-term capital losses outside of real estate. 

My husband has cystic fibrosis and seizures and is on a medication that's almost $300000 a year.

Do you currently rent ? 

However, the investor owes more on the mortgage than the properties are currently worth.

A cash out refinance to buy more property would put a substantial dent in cash flow with current interest rates.

Thanks Stuart.Very fair comments and appreciate you calling it out.My partner currently runs a few successful MTRs. 

Hi, all,My name is Diana, currently based in Houston, Tx.

Currently I've been working on trying to get my active income up, because I have no other source of income than the duplex cashflow ($1100/mo).

Right now the stock market is in a short term decline and not sure what investments you currently hold in the 401K and how to time the market would be a better question for an FA (Financial Advisor).

I am currently seeking recommendations for insurance agents or companies that can provide coverage for my property.
