To take a theft loss for tax purposes we generally need to have no prospect of recovery, and exhaust all other avenues of collection.Your points are good ones and I always recommend building the paper trail (substantiation) for tax. 

I like many of my colleagues in BP are rooting for you and look forward to hearing your progress. 

But the gain in hiring is the smallest since the economy reopened and points to deceleration in our recovery.

Still in progress but have one unit rented at a substantial increase from the previous tenant.

Does anyone have any recommendations for appreciating neighborhoods in the path of progress that also have the opportunity to cashflow?

Firstly congrats on the success and progress of scaling your business Gus!

Im not financially free by any means, but the progress Ive made so far will give me more opportunity.

May be best to just wait and see how things progress amd take it month by month. 

Are there any Milwaukee investors that only focus  on cash flow or is the natural progression to seek appreciation after reaching your cash flow number?

Really cool to see the progress from start to finish.
