@Janosch SpohnerThere are many things wrong with your first paragraph...LLC's don't provide you unique tax write offsLLC's don't pay taxes, they pass-them through the income to the owners(unless you are talking about an LLC taxed as a C-corporation).

Each crisis is unique but it doesn't feel like the full storm is here yet.

Real estate is such a unique investment vehicle, with clear advantages over any other avenue out there.

Everyone has a different opinion because everyone's situation is different and unique to them!

It all worked out perfectly with a  Family home  in NorthNaples A- school district with close by resortstyle communities .Check Arthrex as a NN located great company.Naples has a very unique RE Market, high demand coming from Seasonal Second home owners and full time living families.

@Ronald MorrisI really like the Cerner medical campus. 15k jobs going into that area....

I have a unique situation where I may be medically retired from my government job due to an on the job injury (back surgery/nerve damage) I am still able to do physical things but may not be able to stay in the job based upon it's requirments (Law Enforcement).

You could, certainly, find homes to hack in areas that are just a short drive or short ride by Metro rail, at a fraction of the cost in and around the Medical Center, and the Heights. 

Every partnership varies, just look for a win-win.That said, the areas around the Hopkins Medical Campus and Hospital are very hit-or-miss.

The (buddy) might be talking about an individual situation which they are all unique to that person or couple.Most commercial is 39 year straight line depreciation.
