This is basically only in 2 wards and the alderman have the ability to make zoning and land use decisions for their specific ward, but the whole thing is counterproductive.  

Because making a big decision like this based on what someone on the Internet said isn't going to fly in front of a judge if you need that.Good Luck! 

Owner-occupied transactions are mostly emotional decision based.Investors should check emotions at the door and only make business based decisions.What does that mean in practice?

But I would say if you see something that seems good, but have no idea if it's good, you probably don't have the reps to make a decision on it yet and could be swayed by people who are just looking on the internet.Do you own any properties? 

To me, mid-tier houses are likely one of the best long-term appreciation investments because they are sought after by so many people in that market, a smaller percentage of people can afford luxury houses and also they may be more volatile but there's always demand for the mid tier price range for the average Joe.I consider myself a serious investor, my LTR's are in a place I would otherwise never travel to, my own preferences and opinions on the location are meaningless as this is purely a long-term investment decision for me and I won't allow personal preference for a location to impact my decisions.

Examples of qualified improvement property include improvements made to the interior of nonresidential real property, such as HVAC systems or alarm and security systems.We refrain from making direct recommendations on Section 179 because we believe this decision is best made by the CPA, who completely understands the client’s overall tax situation.The decision to elect Section 179 is deeply tied to broader tax implications, including other deductions, income limitations, and future business planning.Your CPA has a holistic view of your finances and can help you make the right choice.TLDR:* Section 179 is a powerful tool for business owners and real estate investors, allowing immediate expensing of qualifying assets in the year they are placed in service.* Annual limits apply to how much can be expensed, with the 2024 cap set at $1,220,000, and investment limits that start to phase out when more than $3,050,000 of property is placed in service.* Not all property qualifies for Section 179.
