Qualify as RE professional with full time W2 and single status

[Ale Rioja]

Hi BP community, 

I wanted to see if it's possible for me to qualify as a RE professional or what other strategies are available. 

I know that to qualify as an RE professional for tax purposes, I must:

- spend 750+ hours a year doing RE

- "More than half of the personal services" I provide should be in RE

My situation:

- I have a full-time W2 that is not in the RE space. 

- I'm unmarried 

- I do spend more than 750 hours managing /analyzing my rentals, and 50%+ of my awake time is spent learning or working in RE. 

I read about strategies of having your spouse qualify as a RE professional, or going part-time with my W2. None of these are feasible for me. 

1) Is there a way for me to qualify as a RE professional? If not, what other strategies are available to reduce my active income? 

2) is there a max AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) at which this strategy (of using the RE professional status to reduce active income) is no longer worthwhile? I saw $150k but I'm unsure if it applies to RE professional losses. 

Thank you in advance!
