@Linda FordThe decision to make a C or an S election is a calculus that you should definitely engage a tax CPA/EA for.There are qualitative and long-term quantitative factors as well. 

My personal calculus is I want to get the heck out...

I began going the business management route and so I have taken many math and english classes up to Calculus and Finite and English Composition II, which I took at Indiana University and earned at A+ in! 

thank you BenThank you JohnRegarding self-employment over a w-2 jobWhen I was just out of the Marine Corps and I had this job at Johnson Controls engineering firm because I was a science major, had a lot of calculus physics and chemistryMy job was to sell to developers and builders That wanted air and water  control devices and I was on straight commission basicallyI had like $20,000 in commissions that they  didn't pay me for I got really upset and at 25 yrs of age I didn't have very much EQ, and my emotions got the best me I basically even went to a lawyer and asked  how can I get my 20,000 in commissions here's the proof they owe me the moneyMy lawyer says it's gonna cost you 10,000 in legal fees to sue them at a minimum he's going to need that upfront as a retainerAnd then there was no guarantees I would get the 20 kThat's why I made the commitment at 25 never ever ever be a W-2 employee and I work as a 1099 alwaysThen I found a real estate 60-year-old mentor who taught me everything from distressed property to foreclosures to divorce to bankruptcy to probateI work for five hundred a week for 2 and a half years and then opened up my own business and did approximately 28 seller interviews a weekMy closing ratio in the beginning wasn't very good because I sucked at itBut with the good coaching from my teacher I got better and better and betterI quit after 2 1/2 years and started my own company on a shoestring it wasn't easyBut I made over hundred thousand dollars my first year if it wasn't for the teacher I would not know how to run a business and I would not know how to hire people and I would not know how to market and I would not know how to negotiateAnd you never stop learning because I made a Ton of money I was 29 and I made over 1 million and a quarter I rolled it back into the company which was a mistakeBut live and learn!

Math, no calculus..

It may depend on what your expectations for an investment are but, conceivably, you'll get better appreciation in Journal Square, given that market prices there are generally still lower than JC Heights (although if you found a screaming and/or off-market deal in JC Heights, that changes the calculus).

Thanks @KellyBaird I own the property though which changes the tax calculus, but the rest of your post holds true. 

That’s because it’s widely misunderstood, and because of that we’ll start with learning about the common misconceptions so you have a clear understanding of how IRR works.Don’t be alarmed by the following definition, because this isn’t advanced calculus, but IRR simply put is the percentage rate earned on each dollar invested for each period of time that it’s invested.

Matt, I think you are thinking in the right direction who who not how and doing the calculus of what your highest and best use of time is.

If you have large trees front/back that may change the calculus a bit.
