In need of advice-- my husband and I are considering moving to a new housing development in Madera, called Riverstone.

Hi BiggerPockets community My name is Jay Toluganti, and I’m a real estate investor and operator based in Florida, actively investing both locally and in a few Midwest and Northeast markets.I started my real estate journey a few years ago and have since built an operator-focused business across multiple strategies, including:📍 Vacant land acquisitions, primarily sourcing infill lots for home builders🏗️ Supporting builders with 185+ lot acquisitions, contributing to 1M+ sq ft of residential development🏠 Single-family rehabs & cosmetic flips💰 Working with private and self-directed IRA lenders on structured, asset-backed dealsMy background is in engineering and management (corporate roles in India and the U.S.), so I’m underwriting-driven and very systems-oriented.

Hey everyone,I’m comparing two 3-unit properties in Chicago and could use some insight from local investors.Option 1 – South Side (near Woodlawn area):Priced around $830KModern finishes, newer construction styleCurrent rents around $2,195, $2,000, and $2,000The area has a lot of new developments and new 3-flats going upMy concern: with so many new buildings being added, there’s likely going to be more rental competition, and property taxes may jump once reassessments catch up to all the new construction.Option 2 – Pilsen area:Priced around $735KAlso modern updates but smaller units (two 2-beds and one 3-bed)Taxes are currently low, but likely because the property hasn’t been reassessed since the recent renovationsThe area feels more established, with strong tenant demand and characterSo I’m weighing the growth potential and higher risk in the newer South Side market versus the more stable rents and potentially upcoming tax adjustments in Pilsen.Would you lean toward the newer-construction area with possible tax jumps but longer-term appreciation upside, or the lower-tax, established neighborhood that might get hit with reassessment later?

The more I dig in, the more I realize how much nuance there is in this asset class — and how little high‑quality information exists compared to multifamily, self‑storage, or MHPs.I’ve learned a lot from operators who are willing to share what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and I’d love to connect with more people who are actively running parks, developing them, or expanding portfolios.If you’re an RV park owner, operator, or someone who’s built one from scratch, I’d appreciate the chance to compare notes.

Hey BP,This is for my land developers or new construction builders.

The IRS has tiers of accepted cost allocation techniques for real estate - a total of 6 tiers! 

There are old style martial arts that are outdated for todays times and then there are progressive martial arts that use techniques for real world self defense.No legal advice given.
