I've been operating in Maryland for almost 20 years.I am Bigger Pockets Maryland agent as well.

Operators already have relationships with the brokers and are much more likely to see an off market or "pocket listing". 

I know that many things in the real estate world are hard to predict and out of the operators control.

Pencils have been down and large investors have been focused on cutting costs, increasing renewal rates and improving operations.

I know this is a difficult claim and has been posted before but I haven't seen any posts with the following specifics:Taxpayer (aka TP) is a W-2 employee for real estate company that develops and owns/operates mostly multifamily and some commercial spaces. 

However if your beneficiaries are your the priority  I would still recommend focusing more of your attention and resources on buying great real estate and being a great operator.

Simple enough.What makes it unique is that we have operated a profitable and successful business out of our home for nearly 4 years as a highly booked Hostel and event space + potential urban market farm.

From what I see in Duncanville operations can be challenging in these areas.Are you planning to keep it or sell it? 

In short there are many levers that go into a deal like this including but not limited to TIA, buildout, Operator risk, etc...would be more than happy to jump on a call and see if we can provide some insights for your purchase.In general we do not like to place urgent cares in med office spaces, although hospital systems are notorious for throwing an UC in empty or extra med office space they have.  

For example, you can deduct mortgage interest, property taxes, operating expenses, depreciation, and sometimes even travel expenses related to property management.
