@Claudia Bonaudo@David Faulkner@Marcelo RicarteKathy, not ignoring you but you probably know this.Those getting into real estate are suffering from LLC mania, symptoms include avoiding liability, hiding your identity, protecting your assets and thinking you'll have tax deductions.

A person commits the offense of harassment in the first degree if he or she, without good cause, engages in any act with the purpose to cause emotional distress to another person, and such act does cause such person to suffer emotional distress.

Cognitive Bias, study it, many here suffer from it.Investing in yourself, what you might call education, paying for gas, lunch, whatever is NOT investing in a   n investment, it is investing in your efforts to make money, these are NOT capital expenses.Let the IRS guide you in the definition of "INVESTOR" when you have passive income, capital at risk, you are an investor.When you have active income, income earned through your efforts, you are an "OPERATOR"You is what you is and you aint no more.

What is clear is that we suffered a massive demand shock at the end of the last decade, a recovery from which should be expected to be longer than usual.

Such as what will the Federal, state and local Governments do to offset it, (some areas take steps to uplift their residents lives, and some areas give only lip service to it steering money to certain things that do little but continue the suffering as a profit center--such as some areas helping the homeless by giving them shopping carts vs really helping them).Also the underlying industry base will play into it, for instance Houston makes chemicals that are used worldwide in other industries, is that a positive or a negative---(and for how long) time will tell.
