Obviously social media is another outlet, but what posts have you seen gain traction?

But there’s no benefit to be gained. 

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: I am curious what strong buyers market is making huge equity gains? 

For me, it's about practicing Cooperative Group Economics: It's not about me maximizing my profit, by rather about me maximizing the benefit to my community.

Just suck it up in the short term and reap the benefits in the future.

It's low risk and tax free on the gain.

If you would classify this as more of a hobby which most people won't the first year, then the losses won't benefit you.

I think there is something to gain from this in explaining that, yes, they may use it, but there is inherit risk with using it. 

Hey Bigger Pockets community, I'm just starting out in Step 1 (get educated) on what I want to become a successful career in real estate investment.I also currently run an e-commerce business that is currently completely online, but would benefit from having a brick & mortar storefront, and I had an idea that maybe using the investment capital I'm looking to allocate into real estate into a commercial property my business can operate out of until I decide to sell the property in or rent it out to another business.I am obviously very naive when it comes to the complexity of any good real estate deal (especially commercial VS residential), but I'm hoping to spend as much time learning from everyone here who is on their journey as well.My main concern with the idea of buying commercial to operate my business out of it that I might struggle to rent it out afterwards and that there may likely be depreciation in the commercial real estate market over the next 5 years.I understand there is a lot of nuance depending on the local market but I'm guessing commercial is even less of a "safe" bet than finding a solid residential deal to leverage in some way.

For 1 property, its a cost/benefit analysis in my opinion.
