Hey Bigger Pockets community, I'm just starting out in Step 1 (get educated) on what I want to become a successful career in real estate investment.I also currently run an e-commerce business that is currently completely online, but would benefit from having a brick & mortar storefront, and I had an idea that maybe using the investment capital I'm looking to allocate into real estate into a commercial property my business can operate out of until I decide to sell the property in or rent it out to another business.I am obviously very naive when it comes to the complexity of any good real estate deal (especially commercial VS residential), but I'm hoping to spend as much time learning from everyone here who is on their journey as well.My main concern with the idea of buying commercial to operate my business out of it that I might struggle to rent it out afterwards and that there may likely be depreciation in the commercial real estate market over the next 5 years.I understand there is a lot of nuance depending on the local market but I'm guessing commercial is even less of a "safe" bet than finding a solid residential deal to leverage in some way.

Frankly, if you don't keep track of what you spend for business, real tax strategies is not your problem at the moment.

He felt spending more time disputing the rejection was not cost effective and i see his point but suspect airbnb recognizes this and uses it to their advantage.  

You said "don't do it for the money," but I'm sure money calculations were part of convincing you this would be a reasonable way to spend your time and money.

I recommend you spend some time picking and getting to really know your market.

Is this an amenity worth spending $$ on?

Do that before you spend any energy trying to kick him out.If he hasn't paid rent, you can call the police and have him escorted from the property. 

It appears he is on a course of actions that will not change.The pyramid scheme became obvious when the underlings started to reign down in the forums here, as many mentioned, where no one looks too kindly on SubTo, not knowing what they were walking into and not caring because they were looking for the "hungry" bros who would spend the $8,800 to get into the community and "share" deals.

I took a few years out of work to take care and spend time with a family member whp passed, so I have only been working for a year now.
