While it is true that the time of year can influence market activity, as others have mentioned, there is usually a trade-off depending on the season.

I also want to be active in other rust-belt cities that are similar to Milwaukee and I want to be part of their eventual comeback: Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, St.

@Sam Dal Passive activity gains, such as those from a sold multi-family investment, can only be offset by passive losses, including accumulated ones from prior years.

It's not a get rich quick scheme, it's a lot of active work and I would have 5 yrs in my head at a minimum before you truly become established and stabilized. 

If you have an active root...over time it will grow back in there unless you excavate, cut and remove. 

I'm actively working through this process somewhat now so I can roll funds into a bigger boutique hotel project.

Usually, tenants are receptive to the idea but I also wonder if tenants with a higher credit score care less about this feature than ones with a lower credit score who are actively working to rebuild their credit?

I'd rather just invest in something that would gain value and get deductions through an active business - created for the purpose of tax deductions.

This will work for ordinary losses, but not from negligence or unlawful activity.
