[Alex U.]

Could a long term lease could be written as a series of short term leases (less than 30 days), and thus qualify income from the rental as "Active" and thus allow the tax filer to file as a "real estate professional"?

No.

And let's not bring this "identify as..." into real estate investing. Enough confusion as is. :)
