I have been pitched properties in areas like Tuxedo Park and the North East (N Olney St and E. 30 ST).For those Indy investors, can you provide some insight into these areas?

Even today, when the BP e-mails tell me, "Someone voted on your post", I still initially read it as "Someone vetoed your post".

I've been asking my contractors for their W9, and sometimes they just e-mail me their SSN/Tax ID.Is this enough, or do I actually need a W9 from them?

I'm new to the BiggerPockets forum, (in fact, this may be my first post) @Joseph Freni- I'd love to add you to my buyers list as well. 

Please add me to your buyer's list as you run across potential leads that fit that criteria. 

Continue to grow your Buyer's list, a more experienced buyer would likely jump on that one!

I am sure most of you know, when you go to Recent Forums on bigger pockets, all you see is tons of new posts in foreign languages and accounts that are probably spam or either closed.Just want to make sure Admins know...

I got stuck at the 'Gain or Loss Worksheet' line b :"Any depreciation you took — or didn't take but could have taken — for any business or investment (rental) use of your home other than home office use"So I did Schedule E and Form 8582 and using some ballpark numbers I quickly realized that :since my MAGI > 150K, I won't be able to take any passive loss deductions on my 1040. 

So I had a Schedule E for last year's tax return.
