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

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.
