@Jonathan X SanchezWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

Just hoped I could defer it but as you said, no big deal in starting from 2017.I also found that you can carry on losses (0 income - expenses) on future years income, so definitely that is the way to go.Both the property manager and a CPA told me that the rents become income for me when they are released to me.

We might revisit it in a few weeks after we see what else comes in.)It's the same in commercial real estate just the numbers are bigger in the millions to tens of millions in price.

I’ve been all over the Bigger Pockets website, from the forums to signing up for Webinars (really excited to see what tomorrow’s has in store), and I have already downloaded countless episodes of the podcast that I can’t wait to listen to at work.

@Dave VonaWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

Hey Anastasia, I agree, I've been on bigger pockets daily and need more Canadian specific discussions.

Looking forward to hearing from the bigger pockets community! 

So after reading Bigger Pockets books and watching podcasts I thought it might be good to start in the mid west: IL, IN, OH, WI or in the south east AL, SC or AR.

If I am the sum total of the 5 people I spend the most time with...I wanted Bigger Pockets Podcast Guests to be (collectively) one of those 5 people.

@Raj G.First thing, did you get a copy of the insurance binder that shows you as "loss payee"?
