What are we doing wrong? We lose $250/month on a townhome in VA.

How? How can you write off the loss of you aren't in the real estate business and make more than $110,000 a year?
I would assume s/he is depreciating the property.
But even if you depreciate, you can't offset anything but rental income right? I don't own any rental property, but it doesn't seem worth the effort of dealing with tenants if you don't make any money.
I don't own rental property but I would think the main draw is the tenant paying the mortgage and building up your equity for you.
I disagree. There is an opportunity cost to tying up a down payment. If you have $150K you can put it in the market and make an average annual return of 7%. IMO rental property should return more than that to be worth the investment - not to mention the time and trouble.
+1. I'd love to understand the economics of the PP with 24 units in Chicago.
