Hey BP community,Just wanted to thank you all for the wealth of knowledge I have learned thus far from comments I received on my first post a few weeks back.

I'd follow JW's thought process and even consider posting a note on your neighboring doors...to let them know as a neighbor that it isn't appreciated that there is smoking inside, please kindly consider taking your smoking outside.I feel like the approach is everything here...Chicago is a weird place and hard to enforce a lot of things.  

Hello,I made a beginner post recently about trying to break into real estate investing and had a lot of helpful responses.

Hi Everyone, I hope this is the correct form to post this on.

Michael Plaks has a great post on this topic.2 - Assess the value of those tax deductions to you: Best way to get that is by working with a real estate tax expert.

Maybe post a cliff notes version to make it easier for people to help you.

Maybe you just need to check some box or put the numbers in a different spot.You aren't even posting here because you have an investment, right?
