Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: I would prioritize the sponsor performance(life of the fund) and experience over cash-flow and depreciation.I would also look to zoom down on the asset class along wtih the region you want to invest in to then determine the fund sponsor you want to go with.Asset class - residential real estate, commercial real estate, data centers, mobile home park, etcregion - north east, south, west, etcThen when you decide on a few sponsors, have a call with their investor relations team to see if the sponsor will decide on getting a cost segregation study.Bes tof luck!

@Chaim MalGood advice from @Nicholas L.I'd add that you don't want to only trust the agent's word, they need to show you data that will justify the purchase for your goals (why you want to invest in real estate).  

Treasuries as strong economic data and sticky inflation have led investors to scale back expectations for Fed rate cuts this year.

The only data points I have are permits pulled (which don't seem to be down much), local builder incentives (which continue to blow my mind) and the quarterly earnings of the national publicly traded builders, which all seem to be down 25% or more year over year  market specific.. 

RTR provides the data behind individual deals as well as analysis behind why they are in certain markets and I found this to be so helpful as an investor with a full-time job.

The best data is on Pricelabs in my opinion because you can dive into the comps really deep.

Any insights, data, or personal experiences are greatly appreciated!

If not, even though you are a re pro, losses are passive & deductions are limited.There are 7 scenarios that will qualify as material, and you only need to meet one:*500 hours*Substantially all participation*> 100 hrs and at least 1/2*Significant participation*5/10 years*Personal service activity w participation in last 3 years*Continuous participationTo materially participate, you must be involved in the operations of the activity on a regular, continuous, and substantial basis.Once you pass the pro test, the material participation often comes along for the ride.You can elect to aggregate all rental real estate for purposes of measuring material participation under Sec. 1.469-9(g).Your time spent on all your rental properties (STRs don't qualify) counts as one activity, making it easier to materially participate.In order to make a strong case with your CPA and the IRS you need to document your hours.Best practice is an hours log where you are as specific as possible.

Read this post's Myth 4:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1122635-the-s...It is more difficult to pass the material participation test when you use a management company, but it is possible.

The exact size of the lease remains unclear, but it is said to be closer to 100,000 square feet in the building that's part of Brandywine Realty Trust's Uptown ATX mixed-use development near The Domain.Nvidia has two existing locations in North Austin: a 52,000-square-foot office space at 11001 Lakeline Blvd. and a 5,000-square-foot space at 10801 MoPac Expressway, according to data previously provided by CoStar.Either way, the company's growing presence in Austin, which some have pegged to include a headcount well into the hundreds, has prompted Nvidia to find a bigger space, sources said.
