Based on your numbers, it sounds like it has been losing money from day one. I'm curious why you bought it in the first place. The costs have always been higher than the rent, correct.
I think OP was expecting the price of property to go up, then sell, using the rent as a way to justify losing money short term for a longer term capital gain.

Penny wise dollar foolish if you ask me.
