And add in that "affordable: housing is the latest buzz word.I'm just hoping that they realize they need to keep landlords alive to collect taxes and water bills.Or to paraphrase Khrushchev: "If you're skinning someone alive, leave enough skin on so you can come back later and harvest some more."

It would seem that some company or someone would harvest that for bigger companies who want to do research.  

@Masud KhanI scaled up for free by harvesting equity from my properties that appreciated.

Utilize Sec 121 and daisy chain your primary residence to harvest tax-free appreciation so you can live in different parts of our beautiful country (especially when you are in retirement). 

This is all well and good for a number of years and then the tree harvest takes place and you're left with bare ground and a bunch of seedlings.Most successful hunting ranches require a fair amount of management.

Are you going to harvest the emails and then send newsletters once a quarter with local happenings, hoping they'll book another stay?

Well neither did I...Talk to him ahead of time - maybe you have some capital losses from brokerage accounts you can harvest in the year of disposal, or do an installment sale, or divide the land and residence and sell them in separate years, or 1031, or group, or move into and take 121 to exclude the gain on disposal after you did the same thing for your personal residence.https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/help...

But now that you've drastically lowered the basis of the new syndications that you're invested in and have harvested all of your passive losses with little to none of it being carried forward, what will the tax implications be as the investments mature and you exit the deals, presumably at a decent profit?

I've been reading as much as I can on the subject, particularly the commercial investment/sales front as that's the field I would like to enter into, or operate primarily in, but I'm curious as to what self-education sources an ACTUAL commercial broker might suggest to a junior/inexperienced agent looking become a competent CRE sales professional in the future--without having to harvest a kidney in order to pay for it.Particularly, on the second half of a CRE deal, such as after initial negotiations, after LOI/offer is agreed upon, whenever lawyers may become involved (or not, in some edge cases?)
