Quote from @Daniel Vineis: ya absolutely. most people just recommend multi family because it allows you to offset your income while living there without having roommates. also they tend to cash flow better so if the plan is to do this year over year making sure the rents cover your DTI when you move out is very important.

Hey @Daniel Curtin - Blue Island is a great little Chicago suburb to invest in.  

Hi Daniel Simplified also runs meetups in your neck of the woods. second Thursday of the month I believe they have on in Lowell. 

Daniel,Notice we are not wholesaling, we will be getting a commission for finding deals.

Quote from @Daniel Lioz: I am a regular person (not realtor or agent), what are the steps to buy from Crexi or LoopNet? 

Quote from @Daniel Sam: Hi all,I am looking to invest in Jacksonville, FL while living in Boca Raton, FL.

Hi @Daniel Coley O'GradyIt is neither good nor bad, but there are a lot of things I would look out for.

The "STR Loophole" as @Daniel Murphy explained below, is pretty clear "Materially participate & rent for less than 7 days, you should be able to write it off against active income."

@Daniel DeBruin, this is really all market dependent and how much you want to spend versus how much it will impact both the rent you can achieve as well as the quality of tenants it attracts.When it comes to design, it is all a bit personal opinion, but I will say: contiguous flooring always trumps mismatched, hodge podge flooring.  

Hi @Andrew Freed and @Daniel McDonald, great to hear from local folks.
