I would encourage everyone who has an interest in real estate to send an e mail to your Congressman or Senator asking them to implement another GOZONE  TAX  stimulus  like they did for KatrinaFor those interest the Gozone was the Gulf Opportunities act of 2005.what did it do.. .it created section 179 bonus deprecation for new construction in the affected areas and for rehab costs.Since homeowners will get Fema benefits ( hopefully investors are SOL)  this Massive tax deduction will stimulate all sorts of investment into the affected areas.. and they may as well keep it going right down to FLA as well.. if that gets hit.For all of you BPers who make post I quit my day job and are now real estate professionals you will qualify.. for all of you business owners in Houston you all qualify...

With LPs and REITs, you are not even the tail of the dog, you are more like a fleas on the tail of the dog.

"Even if you only spend 15-20 min googleing and compiling some of the data, it shows self motivation and may demonstrate that you know enough of the basic key concepts and variables that an investor should be concerned with, so in turn you stimulate the pros and master level posters to want to add real in depth value, that is deeper or more insightful than what can be determined from a 15 min google search.

Sadly enough the rebuild will stimulate the AB economy but the loses are still overwhelming. 

For me its an addiction to BP.. although we get a lot of good out of this addiction.. better than other stimulants.

However, a value-add deal will deliver a different return to LPs than a core plus deal.

We always learn from others through sharing so great to have another mind on here to stimulate discussions.

I’m genuinely excited to get to know you all and hopefully we can generate some stimulating dialogue.

Plus it's fun, and gives me something challenging and intellectually stimulating to do.  

You could keep doing what you're successful at while evaluating and finding the right MF sponsor.Lot's of active MF investors start out as LPs to get some experience under their belt.Good luck!
