Some quick googling suggests the answer is yes provided I don't rent it out more than 180 days for the first year, do I understand correctly?

Must have been my mis-understanding.

But they are slowly decreasing from the fast spike, as the market tries to make sense of rhetoric (100% tariffs on BRICS countries) vs understanding what the actual policy is. 

I understand that sending them a message through the platform may flag me for solicitation.

If you are early in your career (would understand not having a lot saved early on) you should let your current job run for 8-10 years and save as much as you can (as painful as it may be, but remember building wealth isn’t easy either or everyone would be wealthy). 

And still trying to understand basics.

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.
