. ;-) There is nothing false wiih what @Henry Clark said.Commercial real estate is broad - Office space, self-storage, Farm, Data centers, residential properties above 4 units, etcIt can be true that one part of commercial real estate is suffering while others is thriving.

As we kick off 2025, the real estate market is continuing to evolve, presenting both opportunities and challenges for investors.

Quote from @Keith Angell: Hello everyone,I’m looking for some advice as I plan the next steps in my real estate investments.

Part of those cuts included the short-term rental tax loophole, a strategy real estate investors can use to help mitigate their rental income tax by offsetting earned income with real estate losses, and could be renewed or extended.  

I am new to real estate rental property.

Depreciation begins once the property is rented.It’s essential to consult with a real estate attorney to ensure compliance with local laws and to handle legal complexities.

Do you have other ways to decrease your expenses or increase your income aside from real estate? 

It’s awesome that you’re diving into real estate and taking the time to build a solid foundation first.

Not the case with newer homes (in my area)- newer homes you could flip if the price was right, but the rental rates wouldn't support the purchase price + any rehab.
