Greetings, I want to know if there are any suggested tax minimization strategies when investing in places like Fundrise or Prosper. From my understanding, your returns are taxed at ordinary income rates which is not ideal. Has anyone found a way to avoid this? Thanks in advance.

@Martin Sterling I live near Gary in Highland, I have not seen or heard of any contractors doing this. I did however find an article of some contractors doing this is in the suburbs of Chicago. Here is the article, maybe the contractor referenced could be a good point of contact for you.

Does anyone have any resources for building container homes in Gary, Indiana?
I have a 3 family lot, currently with a dilapidated structure on it. I'd like to knock it down and put 3 container home units on it. 3 bed / 1 bath each.
Does anyone have any resources or pricing from demo to construction?
Thank You in Advance.

Macro and micro economic analysis that covers recent historical cause & effect relationships, present conditions, as well as forecasts between trends, focused residentially as well as commercially. The non-obvious butterfly effect that different economic areas have on one another. For example, how Amazon and online retails effect on warehousing space pricing and availability is currently and likely to disrupt traditional retail space moving into the next recession.
