I invested some money into stocks and some crypto over the past few years.

I read it and I'm still not sure what happened between FTX and Alameda. hahaha what's crazy about this, Blackrock is filing an ETF for Crypto last week lolso they allow crazy investment as long as the wall street can get some portion of the money too lol

Never, ever believe people when they tell you how much they made on a real estate deal (or trading stocks and crypto).

Valued at $200/coins."" 

Cincinnati/Northern Ky has both sides to this coin, but I am taking, in my eyes, the more promising way, and smarter way, to invest in better areas that don't look great at the start but go up.

From what I've gathered in forums, there is a trend towards transitioning from coin-operated to cashless systems.

It's opening up for "MBridge" and it opens the doors to other currencies including Crypto's and Bitcoin.

In your case:Adjusted Basis = $300,000 - $36,364.36 = $263,635.64So, your profit for tax purposes would be:Profit = $400,000 - $263,635.64 = $136,364.36This is the profit you'd pay capital gains tax on when you sell the property.Regarding whether you're "adding to the profit" side of the equation or "deducting from the basis" side, it might seem like two sides of the same coin, but the way you account for depreciation and basis affects how you report it to the IRS.

A Real Real Estate AnalogyI am starting my real estate adventure and I am trying to draw a comparison from paper assets (stocks, bonds, notes, T-bills, crypto, etc.) with real estate.For those who know a bit more than me (and i know this will vary by person) but what are corresponding "tech stocks" (AMZN, AAPL, NVDA, FB, GOOG, etc.) of real estate?

Now the minimum standards your basement has to hit for it to be able to count as assessed sqft not estimated is a height of 7 ft, a point of egress (bilco doors) and a window usually in the rear, It's one of those things where if your going to go through the process of digging out a basement you might as well go for it and dig it deeper then 7 and closer to 8 ft so you actually stand out compared to the competition.Now the other side of this coin which I would suggest is if you're willing to spend 40-50k on a basement dig, consider adding a 3rd story addition if your a 2 story (think master suite, walk in closet, master bath) or an addition off the back and add a roof deck if your a 3 story (either master suite or just additional bedroom).
