Real Estate Professional Qualification

[Andy Wu]

I have 40+ rental properties and I managed them all myself.  In addition, I am a real estate agent and buying several properties each year for myself and have a W2 job. 

Will I qualify Real Estate Professional?

I do materially participate and work 2000+ hours in real estate. However I didn't have a detailed log for the hours. 

I spent a lots of time in

1. finding the deals, 2. applying the loans, 3 managing the remodeling (5 remodeling each year), 4 managing the rental properties, 5. rental property tax preparation.
