From my experience, success in real estate investing starts with clearly defining your goals and continuously educating yourself through podcasts, books, forums, and courses.

Should I continue mediation or pursue legal action (considering the time and costs involved)?

Here is a fresh example, and it actually came from another tax firm (not mine) specializing in real estate.Let me briefly tell you why I crossed out their pitch:Strategy 1: depends on your 2025 projected net income vs your 2024 net income, among many other factorsStrategy 2: can backfire amidst the uncertainty of future tax rules regarding bonus depreciation, and also ignores alternativesStrategy 3: no rush to do it before December 31stIf you decide to continue reading, I will give you a high-level overview of the most common EOY tax strategies, obviously without an actual discussion of each one.

A couple other neighborhoods I like besides the two you mentioned are Washington Park, Hyde Park, Woodlawn, and South Shore.I think that area will continue to be gentrified because you have the lakefront as well as CTA trains.Is there any reason you are targeting Chicago instead ofdoubling down in Kansas City?

It's all about who is dumb enough to continue to pay that kind of money for a system that already gouges people in a way that even the Gambino family would disapprove of. 

Given the abatement option could you continue to occupy 15% of the building with commercial tenants while the rest of the building is converted or is that a logistical nightmare/ideally are you seeking different long term commercial tenants if you go that route? 

We have had hosts on the platform since then that are continuing to do well and add units.

I also purchased a multi-parcel farm property in TN where the trust who owned the property was out of money and needed cash to continue. 

New to real estate but possess a deep understanding of the responsibilities to continue to gain knowledge and remain loyal with my clients and professionally with my colleagues.  

I will continue the journey in this thread!
